Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

qsys-mac

qsys-mac is an npm bootstrapper for the signed, notarized Q-SYS Mac Installer DMG. The npm package does not contain Q-SYS Designer, Wine, .NET, or the macOS app payload; it downloads the GitHub Release DMG, verifies its SHA-256 checksum, mounts it, and delegates to the bundled qsys-mac helper.

The current bootstrapper pins qsys-mac-installer 0.1.6 with SHA-256 a33d0fccd2aaf87a24bdbd69318659a8366ce95f59155c74747b1d9ba64ea52e.

You still provide your own Q-SYS Designer Windows installer from QSC.

npx qsys-mac install "/path/to/Q-SYS Designer Installer 10.4.0.exe"

Other commands delegate to the same helper in the DMG:

npx qsys-mac status
npx qsys-mac doctor
npx qsys-mac remove

doctor prints read-only support diagnostics: Rosetta state, installed app/data state, bundled helper presence, signatures where practical, running status, and log paths. It does not repair, provision, remove, or upload anything.

Requirements

  • macOS on Apple Silicon.
  • Node.js 18.17 or newer.
  • Rosetta 2: softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license.
  • Your own Q-SYS Designer Installer X.exe, downloaded from qsys.com.

The signed installer DMG bundles Wine, .NET, 7z, icon tooling, msiinfo, and native helper binaries. Normal setup does not need Homebrew or host Python.

Homebrew Alternative

Homebrew can install the GUI installer app:

brew tap reowens/qsys
brew trust reowens/qsys
brew install --cask qsys-mac-installer
open -a "Q-SYS Mac Installer"

brew trust is required by current Homebrew for third-party cask taps.

Cache

The DMG is cached at:

~/Library/Caches/qsys-mac/qsys-mac-installer-0.1.6.dmg

If the cached file is missing or does not match the pinned SHA-256 checksum, qsys-mac downloads it again before mounting.

Local DMG

For release testing, point the bootstrapper at a locally built DMG:

npx qsys-mac --dmg packages/qsys-mac-installer/dist/qsys-mac-installer.dmg status

Local DMG overrides are not checksum-verified.

Source Checkout

Inside the qsys-tools monorepo, use the workspace script instead of npx qsys-mac; otherwise the local workspace package may resolve before the published one:

pnpm run qsys-mac -- status
pnpm run qsys-mac -- doctor
pnpm run qsys-mac -- --dmg packages/qsys-mac-installer/dist/qsys-mac-installer.dmg status
