This is the answer! Most people will not ever install a new operating system.

To be honest, I’m Irish and it seems to me colonialism influences a country to cling to their cultural practices more fiercely. Couple that with massive inter-generational trauma. In the case of Ireland, unfortunately that meant we had a brutal theocracy for decades after the British left.

I think the only reason Ireland is in any way more progressive now is because they let us join the European Union, and they gave us money!

Anyway I think you sound like a great person and the best of luck. I emigrated myself too, to England ironically…

Self hosted ‘The Lounge’ is great.

That’s very weird! So you get the error message when you run faircamp --preview after editing your .eno?

And is there one .eno in your “Artist Name” folder, and another .eno in each “Release” folder?

If you’re on Mastodon or similar, I recommend the #faircamp tag, loads of us try to help out on that! There may be someone more familiar with faircamp on Mac & brew who can help…

If not, you could try making an issue here: https://codeberg.org/simonrepp/faircamp/issues

Hm, if it thinks the font is Courier my guess is TextEdit is adding a file extension (like .rtf or something)

It needs to be just a .eno … maybe it’s like .eno.txt ?

You might be able to check that from Finder? But if not, you can see exactly what’s in your Faircamp folder (once you have used cd (current directory) to get in there) with this command:

ls

which lists everything in your current directory

If you’re working from something like my tutorial here, all the Linux instructions and commands will be the same using Brew + Terminal :)

Hello! If you’ve installed it with brew, you have faircamp working (no need for Linux). Are you familiar with Terminal? And how to use “cd” to move around? Is that what you mean by “point it to” your faircamp folder? For example, you would just type “cd /path/to/your/faircamp/folder”

It doesn’t matter where the faircamp folder is, it will build the site wherever you run the faircamp —preview command. (Sorry my phone isn’t formatting this correctly, there are two hyphens before “preview” 😆)
