Install Bazarr following the instructions

LaunchAgent on MacOS

From terminal:

cd /Users/<user name>/Library/LaunchAgents
nano com.github.morpheus65535.bazarr.plist

Paste the following into the document and change the location of the logs to /Users/<user_name>/:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
  <dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>com.github.morpheus65535.bazarr</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
      <string>/usr/local/bin/python3.8</string>
      <string>/Applications/bazarr/bazarr.py</string>
    </array>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
    <key>KeepAlive</key>
    <true/>
    <key>StandardErrorPath</key>
    <string>/usr/local/var/log/bazarr.log</string>
    <key>StandardOutPath</key>
    <string>/usr/local/var/log/bazarr.log</string>
  </dict>
</plist>

Save the document. You should receive a notification that “_Software from ‘Ned Daily’ added items that can run in the background”. This is totally normal. To verify everything works, run to start Bazarr: launchctl load /Users/<user name>/Library/LaunchAgents/com.github.morpheus65535.bazarr.plist Run to stop Bazarr: launchctl unload /Users/<user name>/Library/LaunchAgents/com.github.morpheus65535.bazarr.plist
