RE: Trying to get Hybrid running an an M1 Mac - Selur - 12.07.2026
Uploaded a new experimental AppImage for MacOS and reworked the README.md on how to install Vapoursynth.
(Not using homebrew, but using Python&Pip)
Only did some basic tests that worked fine, but didn't do any extended testing, since I'm still not that well atm.
=> let me know whether it works for you or if you still have problems with it.

Thanks - I'm confused by these strange backslashes (backtick?) - I've not seen them used on a Mac before?
```sh
python3 --version
```

Those are code-tags for markdown.
Simply ignore them. There is ba missing new line.

Only
python3 --versionRE: Trying to get Hybrid running an an M1 Mac - Miranda - 13.07.2026
Running sudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
gives:
WARNING: The directory '/Users/xxxxxx/Library/Caches/pip' or its parent directory is not owned or is not writable by the current user. The cache has been disabled. Check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you should use sudo's -H flag.

Hmm,... okay (can't remember seeing that on my system), try this and the following calls without the 'sudo'. (I adjusted the README.md accordingly)
This should work too. (at least for the current user)

Where do I place the plugins.txt file, before running: python3 -m pip install -U -r plugins.txt
RE: Trying to get Hybrid running an an M1 Mac - Selur - 13.07.2026
Doesn't matter where you place it. (In future AppImages I might place it inside the Hybrid.app/Contents/MacOS folder.)
The call says pip to install all the listed components.
If you open your terminal in the folder where the plugins.txt lies
python3 -m pip install -U -r plugins.txtpython3 -m pip install -U -r "PATH TOP plugins.txt"Cu Selur
