To have additional features like the full preview, you need to install some external components.
MacOS Sierra に ClamAV を導入する ClamAV に関する比較的新し目のドキュメントが少なかったので、ここに作成します。 ClamAV is 何 “ Clam AntiVirus (クラム・アンチウイルス。略称Clam AV)とは、オープンソース (GPL) で提供されているクロスプラットフォームのアンチウイルスソフトウェアである。. ClamAV includes a number of utilities: a command-line scanner, automatic database updater and a scalable multi-threaded daemon, running on an anti-virus engine from a shared library. The application also features a Milter interface for sendmail and on-demand scanning. ClamAV may be compiled and used on macOS natively (via the source download above), or downloaded and installed via the MacPorts package system or the HomeBrew package system. Additionally, Fink also provides a ClamAV package. Can t download flash player on mac. ClamAV 0.102.0 ClamAV is an open source antivirus engine for detecting trojans, viruses, malware & other malicious threats. For ClamAV to work properly, both the ClamAV engine and the ClamAV Virus Database (CVD) must be kept up to date. Freshclam should perform these updates automatically. ClamAV It normally runs as a command line tool and I like to install in through Homebrew on Mac OS X systems. If you are on Linux, then this is certainly available through your package manager.
Please download and install XCode in your system: https://developer.apple.com/xcode
After the installation of XCode you also need to install the optional package 'Command Line Tools', so proceed as follows:
Once you have your command line tools installed you can quit XCode.
Please download and install Homebrew in your system: http://brew.sh/
You can install Homebrew by executing this command:
You have to install and configure ImageMagick (rel 6.6 or greater). LogicalDOC uses ImageMagick to manipulate images for previewing.
To install it on MAC, execute this command:
LogicalDOC needs to print documents to a virtual device sometimes when performing barcode recognition. In general in GhostScript is a package installed by default.
To install it on MAC, execute this command:
This is a converter from Pdf to HTML format, LogicalDOC makes use of this utility to prepare the documents for annotations. Without this you will not be able to insert annotations inside the content of the document.
To install it on MAC, execute this command:
Tesseract is an Open Source OCR engine adopted by Google. This package represents the basic OCR engine available on LogicalDOC and it is required only if you want to extract texts inside images. Read this Mini How-To on how to install it.
However, to install it on MAC, execute this command:
OpenSSL is the most known Open Source SSL implementation. This package is required to sign documents server-side.
To install it on MAC, execute this command:
LogicalDOC is integrated with the ClamAV antivirus to check if a submitted document is infected, the the best way is to install ClamXav, a free graphical front end that includes the clamav software: http://www.clamxav.com. Once installed execute it and it will guide to in the installation of the ClamAV antivirus, at the end check to have the command clamscan installed in your system, probably in /usr/local/clamXav/bin/clamscan
This utility is used to manage AutoCAD preview and conversion. The LogicalDOC distribution cannot include a licensed version of this utility so the preview will contain a watermark, to remove this watermark you will have to purchase a license from here: http://www.dwgtool.com/cadconvert.htm
Once you have a valid license key please do the following in LogicalDOC:
As this is a Windows application, you need to install wine in your MAC to use it so follow this procedure:
1. Go to the XQuartz homepage, download XQuartz, and install it.
2. Install wine by executing these commands:
The path /usr/local/Cellar/wine/1.6.2/bin/wine is where your wine was installed, it may be different in your system
To check if all is ok, execute this command:
My preferred anti-virus system is ClamAV and I had trouble getting itrunning on macOS recently. Here’s how I got it going so if you’rerunning to the same issue, this should solve your problem.
I will go through the steps I took and problems encountered. Thisarticle will take you less than three minutes to read.
To get ClamAV running on macOS, run: brew install clamav
Thanks to brew
, open source software like ClamAV can run on multipleplatforms.
Normally, I would just run the application directly, in this case:clamav
, but that does not exist. The main application is: clamscan
Hmm. What is going on here?
After looking up the man page, man clamscan
, one related package isfreshclam
, that has a description:
freshclam - update virus databases
Aah - let’s run freshclam
to update the definition!
Well, there’s no such file, or where do I get it? Is there a sample somewhere?
Well, it turns out I missed a critical line in the brew
install, which was:
To finish installation & run clamav you will need to editthe example conf files at /usr/local/etc/clamav/
🤦♂️ whoops! I didn’t even look (and only when writing up this article,I noticed it).
Let’s make the freshclam.conf
file by running command:
Change the following in the file from:
To:
Running the freshclam
application again results in:
Great! Now macOS can scan virus too!
I can’t take credit for everything, I found this githubcommentthat basically describes the solution I presented.
I have this article as a way for me to remember but also remind myselfof apps that are better on Linux than macOS.
Getting ClamAV running on macOS isn’t that hard, but I was close togiving up!.
I love using open source software and macOS. As macOS is UNIX based,almost all open source software works on macOS.
There are times where just using Linux to run open source software isa better experience than macOS. ClamAV is one of those times.
Hopefully, this post has helped you from giving up on open sourcesoftware!
