               Installing imapsync binary on Darwin / Mac OS X
=======================================================================

Caveat Catalina: The binary imapsync_bin_Darwin is detected as a malware
or similar on the latest Mac OS X named Catalina.
It's Catalina new security policy. I'm working on it.
All other Mac OS X releases are ok.
So far I found 
https://www.quora.com/What-does-Can-t-be-opened-because-it-s-integrity-cannot-be-verified-mean-on-OSX-Catalina
https://github.com/fastlane/fastlane/issues/15186#issuecomment-532047545
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/11011#issuecomment-531369505
Other way, on the binary: Control + Right Click -> Open 
(I don't know if it adds imapsync in the ok apps)
See also the last section of https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491
"How to open an app that hasn’t been notarized or is from an unidentified developer"

Now, let's forget Catalina for the rest of this document 

There is a standalone imapsync binary for Mac OS X 
called "imapsync_bin_Darwin" (without the quotes),
available in the compressed tarball called imapsync-1.xxx.tgz
where 1.xxx is the version number. I suppose this tarball is put
under your $HOME directory, let say /Users/gilles/, but you can
put it anywhere.

Open a terminal: /Applications/Utilities/Terminal double-click on Terminal.

Untar the tarball where you want:

  cd
  tar xzvf  /Users/gilles/imapsync-1.xxx.tgz

Go into the directory imapsync-1.xxx

  cd imapsync-1.xxx


First let's have a simple run to see if imapsync_bin_Darwin works. 
You should see some help about options and an example at the end 
of this run:

  ./imapsync_bin_Darwin

To go further, perform a complete test with two
real IMAP server accounts:  
  
  ./imapsync_bin_Darwin --testslive

If this sync works fine then imapsync_bin_Darwin is ready for any 
imap account synchronization. 

When reading the documentation with imapsync command lines examples, 
you have to replace the command "imapsync" by "imapsync_bin_Darwin"
For example, instead of the command:

  ./imapsync \
    --host1 test1.lamiral.info --user1 test1 --password1 secret1 \
    --host2 test2.lamiral.info --user2 test2 --password2 secret2

you have to use:

  ./imapsync_bin_Darwin \
    --host1 test1.lamiral.info --user1 test1 --password1 secret1 \
    --host2 test2.lamiral.info --user2 test2 --password2 secret2

You also may have to edit the examples you use, like
examples/imapsync_example.sh
and replace in there the command ./imapsync by ./imapsync_bin_Darwin
in case it is not already done.

Be careful the way you edit the files, use a text editor. 
Do not use a word processor because word processors add 
or use special formating characters that will break the shell
scripts. If you use TextEdit, use the text mode.


The script examples/imapsync_example_darwin.sh is ready to use,
it is a copy of examples/imapsync_example.sh adapted to Mac users.

The script examples/sync_loop_darwin.sh is also ready to use.
Try:

  sh examples/sync_loop_darwin.sh

or

  cp examples/sync_loop_darwin.sh mysync.sh
  sh mysync.sh

Now read on the tutorial

=======================================================================
    Installing imapsync script on Darwin / Mac OS X with brew
=======================================================================

In case you have brew installed on your system ( see https://brew.sh/ ),
install imapsync with the command:

  brew install imapsync
  
Do a real test with imap server test.lamiral.info:

  imapsync --testslive
  

=======================================================================
    Installing imapsync script on Darwin / Mac OS X the way I do
=======================================================================

This part is only for advanced Unix users, or brave users.

The "make" command is a prerequisite to build some Perl modules.
Install make in case it is not already installed.

First let us install cpanminus locally in ~/perl5

  wget --no-check-certificate -O- http://cpanmin.us | perl - -l ~/perl5 App::cpanminus local::lib

Then take this install into account in the current environment

  eval `perl -I ~/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib`
  perl -I ~/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib

If you want to have always this setting in your environment then run the commands
  
  echo 'eval `perl -I ~/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib`' >> ~/.profile
  echo 'export MANPATH=$HOME/perl5/man:$MANPATH' >> ~/.profile
  cat ~/.profile 

Now let's update the standard CPAN Perl module

  cpanm CPAN

The specific install part for imapsync begins, the script "prerequisites_imapsync"
helps to verify what is needed to install on your system

  curl -L http://imapsync.lamiral.info/INSTALL.d/prerequisites_imapsync > prerequisites_imapsync 
  sh prerequisites_imapsync

  cpanm Authen::NTLM
  cpanm File::Copy::Recursive IO::Tee
  cpanm Mail::IMAPClient
  cpanm Readonly
  cpanm Unicode::String
  cpanm Data::Uniqid
  cpanm JSON::WebToken

We're ready to install and test the latest imapsync

  wget -c http://imapsync.lamiral.info/imapsync
  ./imapsync
  ./imapsync --modules

You can rerun "sh prerequisites_imapsync" 
to verify everything is ok:

  sh prerequisites_imapsync 

When everything is ok the script execution ends with this sentence
"All needed modules are already installed"

Now imapsync should work on your system.

  ./imapsync --testslive
