Installation Troubleshooting

The installation of the VIPER templates is meant to be as easy and seamless as possible. The install script creates a symbolic link in the Xcode directory to the templates. This allows them to integrate directly into Xcode and be easily used through the File->New File Xcode flow. However, there is a problem that can arise based on the assumption of the install script.

Default Xcode Location

If your Xcode is not installed in the default /Applications/Xcode location, then you will need to change this path inside the install script itself. It is very easy though:

1. Right click the install script
2. Choose Open With
3. Choose your text editor of choice
4. On line 3 of the script, change the /Applications/Xcode.app portion of the string.

• If your Xcode application was installed in /some/other/location/Xcode.app, then your resulting string would look something like:

SOURCE_DIRECTORY='/some/other/location/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/Templates/File\ Templates/Source'

5. Save the changes
6. Double click the install script
7. Enter your root password if needed

• You typically have to enter your root password because we are modifying the contents of the Xcode.app to create the symbolic links to the templates.

8. All done!
