Installation > macOS Host

Users who want to use a stand-alone copy of the CheckIT app might want to host it on a Mac.

For those, an additional installer package is available, depending on the hardware of their mac:

oCheckIT-x.x.x-darwin-arm64.zip - For M1-based systems

oCheckIT-x.x.x-darwin-x64.zip - For intel-based systems

Installation

▪Unzip the package you received.

▪Move the folder to your preferred location.

▪Rename the folder if you want.

▪Run the start.bat file and make sure the installation can take place uninterrupted.

On a clean system, all should be well out of the box.

If you receive an error about node.js not being found:

▪Download and install Node.js for macOS.

▪Replace the Node folder inside the CheckIT folder with a copy of the Node folder you just installed.

If other Python and node.js versions are installed, there might be a version conflict, so pay attention to that.

IMPORTANT: On macOS, the Node.js installation often requires a separate installation of node.js. The Node folder inside the CheckIT package needs to be replaced by the version downloaded on that particular mac.
