Install Archi Steam Farm On Macos

Installation

On macos, the simplest way is always brew:

brew install archi-steam-farm

But not with some caveats, I don’t know if it’s just me or something wrong with this formulae, after I run asf, an error popped:

2024-07-01 17:05:58|dotnet-12202|FATAL|ASF|OnUnhandledException() System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load shared library 'IOKit.framework/IOKit' or one of its dependencies. In order to help diagnose loading problems, consider setting the DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES environment variable:
dlopen(/opt/homebrew/Cellar/dotnet/8.0.4/libexec/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/8.0.4/IOKit.framework/IOKit.dylib, 0x0001): tried: '/opt/homebrew/Cellar/dotnet/8.0.4/libexec/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/8.0.4/IOKit.framework/IOKit.dylib' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/opt/homebrew/Cellar/dotnet/8.0.4/libexec/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/8.0.4/IOKit.framework/IOKit.dylib' (no such file), '/opt/homebrew/Cellar/dotnet/8.0.4/libexec/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/8.0.4/IOKit.framework/IOKit.dylib' (no such file)

Apparently dotnet can’t find some relevant dependencies. After some diggings, IOKit.framework is some library provided by MacOS, but dotnet search the wrong place or brew doesn’t install dotnet right.

Anyway, IOKit.framework is located in the path: /System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework, so we just soft-link it then the problem should be solved, let’s do it:

ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/Cellar/dotnet/8.0.4/libexec/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/8.0.4/IOKit.framework

Remember to changed the version number if not 8.0.4, else should be fine.

It turned out, not only IOKit.framework is missing but some other components. So the complete command is:

ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/Cellar/dotnet/8.0.4/libexec/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/8.0.4/IOKit.framework

ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/ $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/Cellar/dotnet/8.0.4/libexec/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/8.0.4/CoreFoundation.framework

ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/DiskArbitration.framework/ $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/Cellar/dotnet/8.0.4/libexec/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/8.0.4/DiskArbitration.framework

Viola! Enjoy Archi-Steam-Farm on MacOS via Homebrew.
