install error help

[dmw1]

Just installed exiftool 10.42 for mac os
I open terminal and type "exiftool" as per instructions.
Script runs
Open CorrectLensEXIF and get message Executing "/usr/bin/exiftool" failed
Is my exiftool in wrong directory?

thanks

ExifTool is now found in /usr/local/bin, not /usr/bin.

This change was necessitated by a change in OS X.  You must change the path to exiftool in your script.

thanks
So do i type...
"usr/local/bin/exiftool" at the command line? because doing this still still gives an error. Sorry I am not a programmer

It should be

/usr/local/bin/exiftool ...

But then you shouldn't have to type the path because /usr/local/bin should be in your path.  What version of OS X are you using?

Phil;
system is OS X 10.11.6 (15G1217)

just entered /usr/local/bin/exiftool as you suggested however get error message .. Executing "/usr/bin/exiftool" failed. Make sure that Phil Harvey's  ExifTool is installed.

Also fyi if it makes any difference, am attempting to  allow OSX Aperture photo program to recognize a new camera lens (which it currently misreports) using CorrectLens exif

Hi Doug,

system is OS X 10.11.6 (15G1217)

just entered /usr/local/bin/exiftool as you suggested however get error message .. Executing "/usr/bin/exiftool" failed. Make sure that Phil Harvey's  ExifTool is installed.

It is still looking in /usr/bin, which is wrong.  Somehow you didn't change the path to /usr/local/bin

I'm assuming you're using the CorrectLensEXIF script mentioned here? 

I don't know too much applescript, but it looks like the path is hardcoded.  The source code is there, so it can be fixed.

i installed the correctlens software and it opens; (if thats what you are asking) However it doesn't "see" exiftools and hence gives me the error message.
Have attached screen shot of terminal after starting exiftools..

You need to contact the author of CorrectLensEXIF to get them to change the hardcoded exiftool path in their application to "/usr/local/bin/exiftool".

Hi
You should try it to install in different direction and If it is not going to work contact administrator or the author who will be able to help you. That's the best way.
