This page gives guidance to Mac OS/X users on how to install and configure the grid tools and libraries, and integrate them for running GlueX offline software. The reader is assumed to have sysadmin privileges on the target Mac OS/X machine, and to be familiar with standard command-line package installation procedures for Darwin platforms. The installation proceeds in several distinct stages.

  1. Installation of the Xcode developer suite from Apple
  2. Installation of the apt package installer for Mac OS/X
  3. Update of the gcc/gfortran/g++ compiler bundle and related tools
  4. Installation of pacman (yet another package installer, used by the VDT)
  5. Installation of the VDT 2.0 OSG Client package
