I’m trying to install wxPython 3.0.2 for Cocoa on OSX 10.11.
I have adjusted my GateKeeper settings so that installer will launch despite the missing signature.
However, installation then fails saying “The Installer could not install the software because there was no software found to install.)”.
I have tried using the command line install, but it quits with the same error message:
sudo installer -pkg /Volumes/wxPython3.0-osx-3.0.2.0-cocoa-py2.7/wxPython3.0-osx-cocoa-py2.7.pkg/ -target /
Password:
installer: Package name is wxPython3.0-osx-cocoa-py2.7
installer: Installing at base path /
2015-09-15 10:11:56.652 installer[24690:510968] Package /Volumes/wxPython3.0-osx-3.0.2.0-cocoa-py2.7/wxPython3.0-osx-cocoa-py2.7.pkg uses a deprecated pre-10.2 format (or uses a newer format but is invalid).
installer: The install failed (The Installer could not install the software because there was no software found to install.)
Please advise how to install wxPython on OSX 10.11.
I assume you are using the default python that comes preinstalled on OS X. I can highly recommend using the Anaconda python distribution instead. With Anaconda you will get a completly isolated python environment with all the files stored in your home-directory and it has its own package manager. Installing wx is as easy as typing “conda install wxpython”.
A tiny detail to remember is that to run a GUI program you have to use the command pythonw instead of python, otherwise you will get an error stating something about using a “framework build”.
So, not really a solution to your specific error, but a way around it. Sorry if you already knew all of this and have some specific reason to use the wxPython pkg-installer, in that case just ignore this

Installing wx is as easy as typing "conda install wxpython".
unfortunately, they are not updating that build -- s you get a "not quite
the latest".
but you can get the 3.0.1 here:
http://anaconda.org/noaa-orr-erd/wxpython
One of these days, I'll get it into a "community" channel
