Hi Lila, Pasting into the terminal is a bit awkward and can cause problems. Usually you would run a command like "sh ~/Downloads/Mnemosyne-Installer-MacOS.command" Assuming you do have Python installed, you can simplify it to this chained command instead (it's just creating those "command" files, making them executable and launching the script that runs pip):
echo mnemosyne > /Applications/Mnemosyne.command && echo "pip3 install --upgrade mnemosyne-proj" > /Applications/Mnemosyne-updater.command && chmod +x ~/Mnemosyne.command /Applications/Mnemosyne-updater.command && /Applications/Mnemosyne-updater.command But that will probably fail if you need superuser privileges to write files to the /Applications folder... so instead, put that line in a file (let's say mnemo-tmp.sh, in your home directory), then run: chmod +x mnemo-tmp.sh sudo ./mnemo-tmp.sh I don't use Macs these days so can't test -- apologies if that doesn't help at all.
