I got stuck on step #2:
Run LASIM.
How?? There isn't an executable file!
Which platform are you using?
I know for Ubuntu (Linux) I have to chmod the binary after unzipping it (that is, use the terminal set the binary to execute with "chmod 755 lasim").
Mac OS X is untested - I don't have a Mac to try it out, but it might have a similar problem.
MacOS. Literally has no extension or anything. I have no idea how to run this thing.
Yeah I can use GitHub to generate Mac OS X artifacts but I can't test them, so maybe it doesn't even work.
I suspect it's just a permissions thing on the binary though, and running into the same issues as Ubuntu. I assume nothing happens if you just double click it? Or an error message?
This is what I get if I double click it (after all the security prompts).
Yeah it's not treating it as an app, it's trying to open it as a text file haha. But I don't own a Mac, so I can't debug the steps one would need to take to make OS X treat it as an application.
I think it's just a permissions thing, but again I'm not sure. I think a terminal call to mark it as executable or changing the extension might do it.
I guess I'll have to find someone in my life with a Mac hahaha.
