Hello all,
I recently installed TinTin++ using the terminal on my Mac. I can't find the direcory it was installed to however. When I do a ls command at the prompt I see a few things but I cannot find tintin++. Can anyone tell me how I can find the directory it was installed to? Oh I installed it using homebrew. My mac is a late 2015 Macbook air.

Regards,
Greg Wocher

Hi Greg,
How did you install tintin++?
When I look at the website, I only see instructions for compiling from source code.
As an aside, I see homebrew has a formula for tintin. Perhaps that is a better way to install it?

Hello,
I find that home brew is the way to go when installing packages like tintin++. Once home brew is installed I just used the command at the cmd prompt:
brew install tintin

This command installed it because if I do the command again it gives me an error saying the program has been installed. The only issue is that I cant find the directory for tintin++.

If you used homebrew, then you can use the brew info command.

Hope this helps
Robert
