Installation#
Utsusemi Installer for macOS is distributed as a installer package (.pkg) file for macOS. Users have only to double click this file to install the whole set of Utsusemi applications with Python3 into Application folder.
Security Settings Before Installation#
Because Utsusemi Binary software is not regarded as “Safety Application” by Apple ( not installed through AppStore ), you must set the security level down on macOS to install Utsusemi.
Warning
If already Utsusemi has been installed before this security treatment, you must uninstall it to delete Utsusemi folder in Applications folda.
Launch Terminal application in Utilities in Applications folder.
On terminal console, type command below. At that time, you are required to input your password.
$ sudo spctl --master-disable
Open System Preferences, and go Security & Privacy .
Select General tab in Security & Privacy settings.
Because of the command of 2., the checkbox Anywhere on Allow apps downloaded from: area appears. If the checkbox is not checked, check it.
Installation#
Double click the installer package file.
If you see the dialog as below after double click,
you have a right-click, or ctrl + left-click, on the installer package file to show the short-cut menu as below,
then click “Open”. After this, you will see the confirmation dialog to open this file actually. Push “Open”.
In installation dialogs, you push “Continue”.

Set up#
Creation of necessary folders#
The following two folders must be prepared. These folders store raw data and temporary files.
Folder (Environment valuable)
Description
Data folder (DATA_DIR)
Folder to store raw data (Same as “/data” in the Linux version.)
Analysis folder (USR_DIR)
Folder to include ana and tmp folders in which temporary files are stored (Same as “$HOME” in the Linux version)
These two folders are automatically made at the location below by the launching of Utsusemi Environment Setting app. Of cause, you can choose the other location, but recent macOS security prohibits to read/write data files in the “Desktop”, the “Documents” and some shared folders from Utsusemi. Home folder is OK for the present.
Folder
Location to be made
Data folder
<HomeFolder>/Utsusemi/DATA
Analysis folder
<HomeFolder>/Utsusemi/HOME
If you do not know how to open home folder, you select a “Home” item from “Go” menu.
Environment setting and requirements#
The initial setting of Utsusemi must be done by using UtsusemiEnvironmentSettings application.
Warning
This setting must be done at least once after the installation.
Setting items are below.
The instrument environment required for your data treatments
Two folders to store raw data and analysis temporal information.
Logging
Font size for GUI applications.
The number of processers for high performance on analysis
Swiching debug-mode on/off
If you analyze raw data set obtained from other instrument, you must change the instrument environment in this setting. However, you treat 2nd data ( after histogram creations ), like saved data file (.dmp or .mdb file), you need not.
Launch Environment Setting#
Laounch UtsusemiEnvironmentSettings in “Utsusemi” folder in “Application” folder, or from “LaunchPad”.
Setting Items#
- Instrument
Choose the instrument for data analysis. Raw data folder and executable commands are changed to suitable ones.

Warning
All logs write in a file /tmp/mlfsoft.log. If something wrong happens on using Utsusemi, you should check this file.
- Font Size
Set the font size for GUI applications. Normaly 12 points. You can change it to lager or smaller, but GUI layout or shapes maybe collapse by given value.
- Number of thread
Some analysis command are affected by this value. Normaly you set the number of CPUs in your Mac machine.
- Utsusemi_debugmode

tmp folder and xml folder under ana folder
Warning
If you cannot find these folders, you must make them by yourself to avoid the failure of Utsusemi launch.
On the other hand, you make folders to store raw data DATA_DIR according to a rule described in next section.
Rule for data location#
Raw data should be stored in the folder specified by DATA_DIR according to the following rule.
- Create a folder who has the same name as the instrument code.
For example, “SIK” for 4SEASONS (BL01) and “AMR” for AMATERAS (BL14).
- Place the data folder of corresponding instrument in this folder. The name of the data folder must include each Run No.
For example, “SIK012345_20150301” for 4SEASONS.

For example, you type Ana here to launch SequenceEditor .
Running Utsusemi on a terminal#
Python scripts including Utsusemi commands can be run without utilizing the above applications. In particular, if you try any new idea of data analysis, you need to utilize the Utsusemi environment on a terminal of macOS. The following is the procedure.
To execute your own scripts, there are two ways.
Launch UtsusemiShell
Launch a Terminal application and prepare Utsusemi environment.
By UtsusemiShell , as described above, a simple Terminal app is launched with Utsusemi environment.
If you want to use the specified terminal, preparations are below.
Launch your specified terminal.
Run the following command.
$ source /Applications/Utsusemi/.opt/bin/_loadenv
Then, any functions of Manyo-Library or Utsusemi can be called.
$ python Python 3.9.12 (main, May 16 2022, 19:19:31) [Clang 13.0.0 (clang-1300.0.29.30)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import Manyo Manyo>>>
Version number confirmation#
Utusemi version can be seen in the following ways. It is useful when you report bugs or update Utsusemi.
- Installer file name
Installer file name consists of two sets of numbers.
Example

- Command of Utsusemi Shell
Launch Utsusemi Shell, and run the following command.
>>> import utsusemi >>> utsusemi.__version__ '4.0.0'
Or,
import UtsusemiInfo
Then, the following information is displayed.
--------------------------------------------- Utsusemi Info --------------------------------------------- version : X.Y.Z (rev nnnnnn) Contact person : Yasuhiro Inamura e-mail : xxxxx.yyyyy@j-parc.jp ---------------------------------------------
X.Y.Z, and nnnn are release number and the latest date for update, respectively.
Uninstall#
Just move Utsusemi folder in Application folder to trash box.
However, this does not completely all the relevant files, and some folders show below are remained. Delete them manually is you want.
DATA_DIR folder
USR_DIR folder
In addition, several configuration files are remained. Although these files will be used when you re-install Utsusemi, you may delete them.
Home folder/Library/Utsusemi folder
Note that these are invisible folders.
Troubles#
If you feel something wrong on Utsusemi works, for example no progress of commands steps, please send a report about your situations and a log file “/tmp/mlfsoft.log” .
What must be reported#
To report your trouble, you tell us the information as below :
Which software or command you are using
What you are going to

About log file#
Data treatment logs produced by some GUI applications launched through terminal ( SequenceEditor, D4mat, D4mat2 ) are shown on the terminal concerned with GUI app. If you need log text of executing the commands or application, you must copy texts on the terminal.
The other logs under Utsusemi working are recorded in a file /tmp/mlfsoft.log . So you copy this file to send with report. In order to copy this file, do this command from command line in “Terminal” App to copy a log file to Desktop.
$ cp /tmp/mlfsoft.log ~/Desktop
