2.3 Mac OS X

Installation

The installation on the Mac OS X platform is realized by a self-extracting .zip file. To install the TIGERSearch software suite on the Mac OS X platform the following steps are necessary:

1. Download the installation file:

After downloading, the Mac installer included in the .zip file will be automatically recognized and decoded by Stuffit Expander. If your system does not handle the file automatically, download and install a current version of the StuffIt Expander software (cf. http://www.aladdinsys.com/expander/).

2. Install TIGERSearch on your system:

After downloading ( http://www.tigersearch.de), a new icon named tssetup is placed on your desktop. Double-click this icon. The installation of the TIGERSearch suite will be started.

Choose the destination directory (typically the directory where programs are installed on your system).

Choose the alias folder. The installation tool will place links to the TIGERSearch and TIGERRegistry program in this directory. We recommend you to choose the option Place into Home Folder. Please note that links to the HTML and PDF versions of the TIGERSearch User's Manual are also placed in the alias folder.

Now the program files are copied to your system.

Start the TIGERSearch or TIGERRegistry program by clicking the corresponding icon in your dock.

Uninstall

Enter the UninstallerData/ subdirectory of the destination directory. Double-click the Uninstall_TIGERSearch icon.
