Aspell For Mac Os X
- I am using emacs on Mac Os X and I installed aspell with homebrew. I accidentally added a wrong word to my 'private dictionary', but where is that dictionary? How can I open it and see what I have added in there? I found a similar question here (How to remove an entry from ispell private dictionary?) but I couldn't find the directories they.

The first version of Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server 1.0, was a transitional product, featuring an interface resembling the classic Mac OS, though it was not compatible with software designed for the older system. Bluetooth for macbook pro os x. Consumer releases of Mac OS X included more backward compatibility.
These advanced steps are primarily for system administrators and others who are familiar with the command line. You don't need a bootable installer to upgrade macOS or reinstall macOS, but it can be useful when you want to install on multiple computers without downloading the installer each time.
Download macOS
Find the appropriate download link in the upgrade instructions for each macOS version:
macOS Catalina, macOS Mojave, ormacOS High Sierra
Installers for each of these macOS versions download directly to your Applications folder as an app named Install macOS Catalina, Install macOS Mojave, or Install macOS High Sierra. If the installer opens after downloading, quit it without continuing installation. Important: To get the correct installer, download from a Mac that is using macOS Sierra 10.12.5 or later, or El Capitan 10.11.6. Enterprise administrators, please download from Apple, not a locally hosted software-update server.
OS X El Capitan
El Capitan downloads as a disk image. On a Mac that is compatible with El Capitan, open the disk image and run the installer within, named InstallMacOSX.pkg. It installs an app named Install OS X El Capitan into your Applications folder. You will create the bootable installer from this app, not from the disk image or .pkg installer.
Use the 'createinstallmedia' command in Terminal
- Connect the USB flash drive or other volume that you're using for the bootable installer. Make sure that it has at least 12GB of available storage and is formatted as Mac OS Extended.
- Open Terminal, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
- Type or paste one of the following commands in Terminal. These assume that the installer is still in your Applications folder, and MyVolume is the name of the USB flash drive or other volume you're using. If it has a different name, replace
MyVolume
in these commands with the name of your volume.
Catalina:*
Mojave:*
High Sierra:*
El Capitan: - Press Return after typing the command.
- When prompted, type your administrator password and press Return again. Terminal doesn't show any characters as you type your password.
- When prompted, type
Y
to confirm that you want to erase the volume, then press Return. Terminal shows the progress as the bootable installer is created. - When Terminal says that it's done, the volume will have the same name as the installer you downloaded, such as Install macOS Catalina. You can now quit Terminal and eject the volume.
* If your Mac is using macOS Sierra or earlier, include the --applicationpath
argument, similar to the way this argument is used in the command for El Capitan.
Use the bootable installer
After creating the bootable installer, follow these steps to use it:
- Plug the bootable installer into a compatible Mac.
- Use Startup Manager or Startup Disk preferences to select the bootable installer as the startup disk, then start up from it. Your Mac will start up to macOS Recovery.
Learn about selecting a startup disk, including what to do if your Mac doesn't start up from it. - Choose your language, if prompted.
- A bootable installer doesn't download macOS from the Internet, but it does require the Internet to get information specific to your Mac model, such as firmware updates. If you need to connect to a Wi-Fi network, use the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar.
- Select Install macOS (or Install OS X) from the Utilities window, then click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions.

Note: You are currently viewing documentation for Moodle 2.0. Up-to-date documentation for the latest stable version is available here: Configuring aspell on Mac OS X.
This procedure should get aspell up and running on Mac OS X:
- Install the Xcode Tools from your OS X DVD or from Apple's developer site. (See MacPorts wiki: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki). On the Tiger DVD, this is the XCodeTools.mpkg file located in the XCode Tools folder. Earlier versions of OS X may have this on a separate disc.
- Install MacPorts from http://www.macports.org/ if you don't already have it (MacPorts is a package system for configuring and installing Unix software on OS X).
- Open a terminal window and enter:
- sudo port install aspell
- When prompted, enter the administrator password. This will download, build, and install the aspell package. It may take quite some time to run, so don't lose patience.
- Next, enter:
- sudo port install aspell-dict-en
- The above example installs the English dictionary (en). There are several others available. If you want to install one of those, replace aspell-dict-en with the appropriate file name.
- In your Moodle installation, go to Administration/Configuration/Editor settings. In the 'aspellpath' field, enter:
Aspell For Mac Os X 10 13 Download
- /opt/local/bin/aspell
Aspell For Mac Os X 10 11
- Click 'Save changes'
- You should be now able to set 'editorspelling' to Yes. Make sure the second field (the dictionary) is set to 'en' for English (or the abbreviation for whatever other language you installed).
- Click Save changes again. That's it. :-)
- The spell check button should now appear in the WYSIWYG HTML editor anywhere it's used in Moodle.
