Installing multiple Sierra Clients on a single computer, configured for different Sierra instances
This is how I install the Sierra Desktop App (Sierra Client) multiple times for different instances:
- Install the Sierra client somewhere (e.g. "/Applications/Sierra Desktop App (test)")
- In terminal, navigate to "/Applications/Sierra Desktop App (test)"
- mv iiirunner.app iiirunner.test.app # This makes it easy to select it from cmd-space
- vim iiirunner.test.app/Contents/Info.plist
- find "ip=" and replace the existing hostname with the correct hostname (e.g. resulting in " <string>ip=nypl-sierra-test.nypl.org port=64000 "workdir=/Applications/Sierra Desktop App" $CMD_LINE_ARGUMENTS$</string>
"
- Note the "workdir=" param on the same line, which should target a valid Sierra client
- Now you can cmd-space, type "iiirunner", select the one called "iiirunner.test.app" to open a client
