Mac OS X 10.4 pre-install

using the Fink software system

applies to iMac Core Duo (with Intel CPU)

    Note that nowhere in this setup do we presume the Intel iMac Core Duo
    workstation.  This should apply to any OS X 10.4 system.  Perhaps this
    even applies to 10.3, though the XTools setup may differ there.

-- account setup --

1. create a user account with su (Administrator) privileges (via "System Preferences", under "Accounts") 2. (optional) go to "System Preferences", "Sharing" and under "Services", enable "Remote Login" to allow ssh access 3. (optional) consider going to "System Preferences", "Keyboard & Mouse", and setting the left, right and middle mouse buttons to Primary, Secondary and Button 3, respectively

-- XTools installation --

4. install X11 (and the gcc compiler, etc.) by installing the Developer package under Xcode tools from Mac OS X Install Disc 1; note that you NEED the Developer package (compiler, etc.) to install Fink, and will also need it if you want to compile AFNI from source code. At this point, you must install Fink. We have had better results with Fink than DarwinPorts -- the OpenMotif on DarwinPorts doesn't work well with AFNI.

-- Fink installation --

5. surf over to http://fink.sourceforge.net 6. follow the instructions to download and install Fink for your platform 7. make sure Fink is up-to-date by typing the command sudo fink selfupdate 8. install the needed parts of fink by typing the command sudo fink install glib2-dev glib netpbm openmotif3

-- (optional) update shell and path --

9. update shell to T-shell chsh -s /bin/tcsh 10. add /sw/bin (for Fink) and ~/abin (for AFNI) to path echo 'set path = ( /sw/bin $path ~/abin )' >> ~/.cshrc 11. log out and log back in to apply the shell and path changes Now you should be ready to install and run AFNI and SUMA.
