Setup
What it typically includes
- Download: Obtain the installer from the official project page or a trusted release repository (e.g., GitHub releases).
- Prerequisites: Ensure your OS version and any required runtimes or permissions are met (administrator/root access often required for system-level changes).
- Installer run: Launch the installer or run the provided script (on macOS/Linux it may be a shell script; on Windows an .exe or .msi).
- Configuration options: Choose default or custom install path, enable/disable optional components, and set preferences for backups or logging.
- Permissions prompt: Grant elevated permissions when requested so the tool can modify system files and remove leftover components.
- Post-install checks: Verify installation succeeded by running a CLI command (e.g., iTunesEradicator –version) or opening the GUI and checking status.
Common setup steps (macOS example)
- Download the latest release package (zip or dmg).
- Mount/unpack and move the app to /Applications.
- Open Terminal, run:
sudo /Applications/iTunesEradicator.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunesEradicator –install - Enter your password when prompted and confirm any permission dialogs.
- Run a test scan:
/Applications/iTunesEradicator.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunesEradicator –scan
Troubleshooting setup
- Permissions errors: Re-run with sudo/administrator rights; check System Preferences → Security & Privacy on macOS for blocked apps.
- Missing dependencies: Install required runtimes (e.g., .NET on Windows, specific libraries on Linux).
- Installer blocked by antivirus: Temporarily disable or whitelist the installer, then re-enable protection.
- CLI not found after install: Confirm the executable path and add it to PATH or create a symlink.
