Having troubles installing CDP8

[dequalsrxt]

I'm trying to install CDP8 as new and I'm having some issues. I'm on Monterey 12.6.8 on a Macbook Pro M1. This is what shows up in the terminal when I double-click cdp8install.command -

The default interactive shell is now zsh.
To update your account to use zsh, please run `chsh -s /bin/zsh`.

and when I try point the terminal to the CDP directory and enter 'xattr -rc cdpr8', I get this message -

-bash: xattr: command not found

I had CDP7 installed and I remember having a hard time getting that running. I guess I shouldn't have removed it, whoops. I don't computer good, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,
There is a file called 'Manualconfig-MAC.pdf in the /cdpr8/docs folder.
Look down to 1b on page 3 & follow the instructions there.

Please let us know that it works for you.

Hi Simon, thanks for the reply. A bit of background - I've been using CDP7 via Renoise and I had Soundloom installed, but it's completely impenetrable to me. I do remember getting them installed was an ordeal. I'm not exactly computer competent, so doing anything in the terminal is an adventure to say the least. I'd like to try out the new SoundThread UI, but I couldn't get it working. I thought maybe it's because I was still on 7, which is why I've been trying to install 8.

I was following the instructions in the readme file, I hadn't looked at the manualconfig file. Unfortunately I'm still having difficulties. I know I'm doing something wrong in the terminal, but I'm not sure what. If I try to do almost anything, I get a 'command not found' message. The 'cd ~' command brings me to my home directory as expected, but if e.g. I try to open text edit via the terminal, I get '-bash: open: command not found'. However, I notice that if I look for hidden files in my home folder using command-shift-period, I do have a .zshenv file and it does contain the statement

path=('$HOME/cdpr8/_cdp/_cdprogs' $path)
export PATH

as the indicated in the manualconfig file. Not sure how that happened, but ok, whatever. But if I try to point the Renoise tool to the CDP8 _cdprogs folder, Mac security blocks it. Same result if I replace CDP7's '_cdprogs' folder with CDP8's. And if I try to enter 'xattr -rc cdpr8' to bypass security, I get the 'xatter: command not found' message. Same with Soundloom, which I uninstalled for some reason.

I got CDP7 and the Renoise tool working again, so I guess I'm not too fussed about this right now.
