Port notes
The example config file is copied to ${prefix}/etc/apfel/apfel_env.conf and its content will be preserved across upgrades and reinstalls. The startup item will use this config file by default.
The service must run as a user with Apple Intelligence enabled. The wrapper script reads APFEL_USER variable in the config file and runs the service as this user. The default value 501 is usually (but not guaranteed) the primary user. Change it as needed. A startup item has been generated that will aid in starting apfel with launchd. It is disabled by default. Execute the following command to start it, and to cause it to launch at startup:
sudo port load apfel
