Bennett

The Bennett application for the COMP15111 course is supplied as a zip archive, which can be run directly after extraction.

Bennett uses the Qt Framework, which needs to be installed before Bennett can be run. One method for Qt installation is to use the popular Homebrew package manager.

From a terminal:

brew update
brew upgrade
brew install qt


To start Bennett, in the terminal navigate to the unzipped Bennett directory and run using

./start_bennett_151

Depending on how you MacOS security settings are configured, you may receive several warnings about running software ("bennett_gui" initially) from untrusted sources.
