How can I install software (made for Mac OS) in Ubuntu?

Question

I'm creating a Microsoft Azure Logic App which I'm working with Microsoft GraphAPI.

The data I get back from GraphAPI is paginated, so I need to retrieve the odata.nextlink and then visit the nextlink via a HTTP Get request. As I'm using a Custom Connector for the logic app, I need to pass in the $skiptoken value, so need a way to create a variable with that value.

The odata.nextlink is in the format below.

https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/users?$skiptoken=X%2744537074020001000000143A546573743137304063726F6D70746F2E636F6D29557365725F64626366343261612D383933372D343166322D613963642D376661306265326335646361B900000000000000000000%27

I can't find a way to create a variable for just the value of the $skiptoken. I'm able to extract the value "$skiptoken=X&2745370740.....0%27" into a variable (using uriQuery), but can't see a way to get just the value of the $skiptoken (e.g. the X&2745370740.....0%27" value) into a variable.

Any ideas?

Solution 1

Wine can run windows applications, but there is no robust equivalent allowing Mac applications to run on Linux. Some projects that try to change this are:

1. Mac-on-Linux

2. Darling

3. http://opensource.apple.com/ - not an 'emulator' but provides the iOS/OSX kernels, licensed under free software licenses

Solution 2

There aren't really any ways to run Mac-specific apps on Linux. You can run a large number of cross-platform apps; Gimp and MacVim come to mind. But if you must run mac apps, the most reliable answer is to buy a Mac. You'll always have the latest versions and you can also run any other OS using Fusion, Virtual Box or Parallels.

The second best option is to run Hackintosh (aka, OSx86). I tried this years ago and had mixed results. You had to be willing to spend a bit of time tuning/tweaking and making sure your kext files worked. I know people who've done it, but I lacked the patience.

Thank you! You nailed it. I used the Replace() function and managed to extract the text I needed.
