If your browser has not already done so, expand the zip archive by double-clicking on it in the Finder.

Double-click on BOINC.pkg to run the installer, then follow the prompts.

Close the installer when it is finished. This will automatically launch the BOINC Manager.

If you want BOINC to be your screen saver, open System Preferences from the Apple menu. Select Desktop & Screen Saver and select BOINCSaver.

The installer does the following:

• places BOINCManager.app in your /Applications/ folder, with the BOINC client embedded inside the BOINCManager application's bundle.
• puts BOINCSaver.saver in your /Library/Screen Savers/ folder.
• creates a BOINC Data/ folder inside your /Library/Applications Support/ folder if one does not already exist. If you have previously been running BOINC in a different folder, copy your data into this folder.
• puts BOINC's localization files in the /Library/Applications Support/BOINC Data/locale/ folder. These files allow BOINC to support over two dozen languages.
• sets BOINCManager as one of the items to automatically start whenever the user is logged in. You can add or remove Login Items by using the Accounts pane in the System Preferences (accessible from the Apple menu). (These are called Startup Items if you are running OS 10.3.)

To completely remove (uninstall) BOINC from your Macintosh:

• Move the following files to the trash:
  • BOINCManager.app (from your /Applications/ folder)
  • BOINCSaver.saver (from your /Library/Screen Savers/ folder)
  • the BOINC Data/ folder (from your/Library/Applications Support/ folder.)
  • BOINC.pkg (from your /Library/Receipts/ folder)
• Open the Accounts pane in the System Preferences (accessible from the Apple menu), and remove BOINCManager from your list of Login Items (or Startup Items under OS 10.3.)
• Open System Preferences from the Apple menu. Select Desktop & Screen Saver and select a different screen saver.
