Mac Installation

The OT Installer for Mac OS is available as a zip archive which is most conveniently extracted by double-clicking on the file in a Finder window - one of these can be opened from the directory where the archive is located by typing open . on the command line. The actual installer is called ``almaot'' (a command line ls will show that this is a directory called ``almaot.app'') and can also be opened by double-clicking. Note potential problems given in Section 2.1.4.

Once the installer has been started it will bring up a succession of dialogue boxes which will guide you through the very simple install procedure - see Figure 2.1. In most cases one will just need to click ``Next'' several times. The default install location is the Applications directory with a shortcut created on the Desktop - double-clicking this will start the OT.
