<ul>
|
|
<li> If your browser has not already done so,
|
|
expand the zip archive by double-clicking on it in the Finder.
|
|
<li> Double-click on <b>BOINC.pkg</b> to run the installer,
|
|
then follow the prompts.
|
|
<li> Close the installer when it is finished.
|
|
This will automatically launch the BOINC Manager.
|
|
<li> If you want BOINC to be your screen saver,
|
|
open <b>System Preferences</b> from the Apple menu.
|
|
Select <b>Desktop & Screen Saver</b> and select <b>BOINCSaver</b>.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li> The installer does the following:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> places BOINCManager.app in your <b>/Applications/</b> folder, with the BOINC client embedded inside the BOINCManager application's bundle.
|
|
<li> puts BOINCSaver.saver in your <b>/Library/Screen Savers/</b> folder.
|
|
<li> creates a <b>BOINC Data/</b> folder inside your
|
|
<b>/Library/Applications Support/</b> folder if one does not already exist. If you have previously been running BOINC in a different folder, copy your data into this folder.
|
|
<li> puts BOINC's localization files in the <b>/Library/Applications Support/BOINC Data/locale/</b> folder. These files allow BOINC to support over two dozen languages.
|
|
<li> sets BOINCManager as one of the items to automatically start whenever the user is logged in. You can add or remove <b>Login Items</b> by using the <b>Accounts</b> pane in the <b>System Preferences</b> (accessible from the Apple menu). (These are called <b>Startup Items</b> if you are running OS 10.3.)
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|

|
|
<li> the <b>BOINC Data/</b> folder (from your<b>/Library/Applications Support/</b> folder.)
|
|
<li> <b>[username]/Library/Preferences/BOINC Manager Preferences</b>)
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li> Open the <b>Accounts</b> pane in the <b>System Preferences</b> (accessible from the Apple menu), and remove BOINCManager from your list of <b>Login Items</b> (or <b>Startup Items</b> under OS 10.3.)
|
|
<li> Open <b>System Preferences</b> from the Apple menu. Select <b>Desktop & Screen Saver</b> and select a different screen saver.
|
|
</ul>
|

</ul>

|
<p>

|
Several <a href=mac_admin_tools.php>tools</a> for Macintosh system administrators are available to:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> automatically run BOINC as a daemon or system service at boot time
|
|
<li> implement improved security for stand-alone clients
|
|
<li> prevent BOINC Manager from launching automatically when selected users log in.
