Hi Nandini,

Thanks for getting in touch! Octopus Server and tools are written for Windows. You should be able to run Octo.exe on Mono if required:
http://www.mono-project.com/docs/about-mono/supported-platforms/osx/

Generally octo.exe and release creation and deployment are not done from a Tentacle, could you explain what you are trying to achieve or where this fits into the process.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
Daniel

Hi Nandini,

Thanks for the reply! We suggest you Push packages to the Built-In repository, we have some good documentation on how to do this:

You should also look at setting up Automatic Release Creation (ARC)

Let me know if this helps.

Daniel

Hi Nandini,

Unfortunately with Mac our support in this area is limited as Octo.exe is designed to be run on Windows architecture. I can give you a link to the instruction page where they describe running applications in Mono, this may have your answer.

http://www.mono-project.com/archived/guiderunning_mono_applications/

We believe that the use of our Automatic Release Creation as mentioned in my previous response is the best option here, as it was designed for situations where using Octo.exe was not possible.

Regards,
Daniel

Hi Nandini,

These commands can only be run on the mac using Octo.exe through Mono
If you require these to run on mac but can not use Mono/Octo.exe you will need to write your own scripts that will do what our Octo.exe process does.
To create a script that can call the API you can use something like cURL (link below)


https://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html

Your other option is to push the file to the Octopus server and use the Automatic Release Creation feature from inside Octopus.

Daniel
