Once you run this program, you’ll get a popup telling you to install a couple of prerequisites. (Pro tip: when you’re typing a file name into the Terminal, you can hit the tab key to auto-complete the name). Download the file, then type the following commands into your Terminal: as follows: cd ~/Downloads Then, download and install the e-Transcript Viewer app, available here. sudo port install monoĭuring this process, you’re going to have some Windows windows pop up, as you would when installing software on a Windows machine. Make the appropriate selections (the default, preferably) to install the software. (1) and (3) are required by E-Transcript Viewer 6.2, and (2) installs (3). After that, we’ll have to install a couple of extensions for wine: (1) Mono, an open source version of the .NET framework (2) a helper application, winetricks and (3) Windows Media Player. This will take a few minutes for the files to download, compile, and install. Next, we’ll use Macports to install Wine: sudo port install wine Run this line of code to do so ( H/T David Baumgold, whose great Wine on Mac tutorial I just discovered): echo export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:\$PATH$'\n'export MANPATH=/opt/local/man:\$MANPATH | sudo tee -a /etc/profile You’ll also want to upgrade the installed ports (which can also take a while), as follows: sudo port upgrade outdatedĪfter this, you’ll want to make sure MacPorts knows where to look for its files, which are in the /opt directory.

When it’s finished, run the following command to update Macports to the latest release (warning: this step can take a while, because it has to compile a bunch of code): sudo port -v selfupdate

Choose the version that corresponds to your operating system, and install the package. Next, you’ll need the Macports package installation manager, available here. Scroll to the end using the spacebar and type ‘agree’ to accept the license. Run the following command to agree to the XCode license: sudo xcodebuild -license Then, open the Terminal applications (found at /Applications/Utilities/) and run the following command, which installs some command line tools you’ll need: xcode-select -install Make sure you’re comfortable using the command line. Some of the commands will take a while to run, so it’s best to try and multitask while this is going on.įirst, install XCode from the App Store. Remember, this is a fairly involved process that takes tinkering under the hood of your Mac. Some steps in that process changed in Yosemite, so here are the steps. Last year I wrote up a how-to guide installing a .ptx viewer on a Mac for Mavericks and previous versions of OS X.
