# Cube Explorer for Mac OS X

#### SMP

##### Member
I recently made Cube Explorer work for Mac OS X, here's the link if anyone needs/wants it.

I basically took Cube Explorer (Windows version, HTM) and used Wine to patch it.

Warning: the file is quite large (about 600 MB), so make sure you have enough space to run it.

Proof:

NOTE: I don't own Cube Explorer, I just wanted to make it easier for Mac users to use it.

EDIT: I don't know if this works for 10.8 or lower, so if it doesn't work, sorry.

Nice! It works for me!
Would it be possible to copy & paste? I want to paste some scramble to the field "Enter Maneuver" or
copy the solution of CE to somewhere.

Runs pretty well!

Cube Explorer runs just fine in Wine, but this is certainly easier to use on a new computer than installing Wine + CubeExplorer separately.

Use Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V (instead of Cmd-C and Cmd-V).

Thanks, Ctrl-V works fine.
But I couldn't copy the solution displayed in the left window, because I couldn't highlight the text...

Thanks so much for this. Now I just need to learn how to use Cube Explorer

It doesn't work for me (on Lion). I get a message box saying:

Code:
Winetricks cannot be opened because of a problem.

Check with the developer to make sure Winetricks works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.

Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.

Late but hopefully not too late:
Right-click the cube near the solution. From the popup menu you can select "Copy Solver to Clipboard"

When I try to open it bounces but then just stops. Did it crash?

Do you know this online cube solver: https://rubiks-cube-solver.com/
I think it's using the same Kociemba algorithm.
This solver is good for beginners , but it is of no use to fast solvers, who want handpicked , and fast executable algorithms,
that aspect of algorithm generation is only satisfied by cube explorer, and ksolve+ to some extent.
