Hi Aditi,

Do you have X11 software running, such as XQuartz? We have not tested Ferret on Mac OS X Sierra, but I believe others have successfully installed it.

Note that for PyFerret, displayed plots on Mac OS X Sierra do not work. Undisplayed plots (using the command-line option "-nodisplay") work fine. This appears to be an issue with the python library Qt4 or the version of the QT library that is used for graphics, under the new OS; we have plans to work on this.

Hello ferret users!

I am trying to install ferret on Mac Sierra, OS 10.12.1. I have followed every step given in the download and I am able to launch ferret from the terminal.

Unfortunately, when i try to plot anything, it gets stuck and does not display the figure. But, it does not show any error either

Could some one help me out. Thanks in advance

regards
