Dockerfile
If you know how to run Docker, see the devel directory:
https://sourceforge.net/p/nmr-relax/code/ci/master/tree/devel_scripts/Docker/Ubuntu_16_04_OpenDX
Here is a screencast for how it is working: youtu.be/vbJP21lebLE
You can get dx working on a mac as easy as:
open -a XQuartz xhost + `ipconfig getifaddr en1` docker run -ti --rm -e DISPLAY=$(ipconfig getifaddr en1):0 -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v $PWD:/home/developer/work --name ubuntu_dx opendx
Consider to add these to your .bash_profile
alias dxdocker='open -a /Applications/Docker.app/Contents/MacOS/Docker' alias dxx='open -a XQuartz; xhost + `ipconfig getifaddr en1`' alias dx='docker run -ti --rm -e DISPLAY=$(ipconfig getifaddr en1):0 -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v $PWD:/home/developer --name ubuntu_dx opendx' alias dx='docker run -ti --rm -e DISPLAY=$(ipconfig getifaddr en1):0 -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v $PWD:/home/developer/work --name ubuntu_dx opendx'
MAC
Download from http://www.vizsolutions.com.
After installing, in your home .bash_profile, add this
# Use OpenDX/usr/local/bin alias dx='open -a /Applications/OpenDX-4.4.4/OpenDX.app'
Then you can open dx files from terminal
NOTE: A test try Oct. 2017 did not work on a macOS Sierra.
Instead installing Docker for mac, and running Dockerfile worked instead.
