Installation on Mac OS X

Prerequisites


Instructions to install the binaries on Mac OS X.

Start the program

Options

Telescope drivers

The INDI drivers are required to drive the telescope. Look at this page to know if your telescope is supported.

The simplest way is to install a package for Mac OS X available from http://www.cloudmakers.eu/indi

You can also install INDI from source using MacPort.

Wine

Wine is required to compute the artificial satellites position in the Calendar.

The easiest way is to install with MacPort as for INDI. The most tricky part is to make the new PATH environment know from the applications launched from the Application menu.
