<h3>Installing BOINC on Mac OS/X</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Mac OS X client will unpack correctly with gunzip on Mac OS X
|
|
10.2 (jaguar) or 10.3 (panther) as long as you type the command
|
|
within Terminal. Stuffit 7.x or newer will work under the Finder
|
|
in either OS X or OS 9, but I'd recommend using 'gunzip' or 'gzip -d'
|
|
within Terminal instead.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
However, the two main browsers on OS X (IE 5.2.x and Safari 1.x) will
|
|
automatically unpack downloads by default, so your work may already
|
|
be done.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you use IE, the boinc client will download and automatically unpack
|
|
leaving two files:
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
boinc_2.12_powerpc-apple-darwin
|
|
[this will have the stuffit icon in the finder]
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
boinc_2.12_powerpc-apple-darwin7.0.0
|
|
[this will not have any icon in the finder]
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>
|
|
#2 is the unpacked program ready-to-run. You can just start Terminal
|
|
and run boinc.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you use Safari, the boinc client will download and automatically
|
|
unpack, leaving a single file:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
boinc_2.12_powerpc-apple-darwin7.0.0
|
|
[this will not have any icon in the finder]
|
|
</ul>
|
|
This is the unpacked program, but it's not yet ready-to-run (this is
|
|
a bug with how Safari handles gzipped downloads; we'll fix this soon).
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Here's what you have to do to fix the Safari download (apologies if
|
|
you already know how to do this):
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> Create a folder in your home directory and put the boinc
|
|
file in it
|
|
<li> Start Terminal
|
|
<li> 'cd' to the folder you just created
|
|
<li> Type 'chmod +x boinc_2.12_powerpc-apple-darwin7.0.0'
|
|
(without the quotes)
|
|
</ul>
|
|
Now you can run BOINC.
