Trying to get Hybrid running an an M1 Mac

[Selur]

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 --version

Is the code you need to use

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.
Requirement already satisfied: pip in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.14/lib/python3.14/site-packages (26.1.2)

WARNING: Running pip as the 'root' user can result in broken permissions and conflicting behaviour with the system package manager, possibly rendering your system unusable. It is recommended to use a virtual environment instead: https://pip.pypa.io/warnings/venv. Use the --root-user-action option if you know what you are doing and want to suppress this warning.

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

[Selur]

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.txt

is fine otherwise you need to use

python3 -m pip install -U -r "PATH TOP plugins.txt"

(which can be tricky on macOS sometimes)
