How to Download and Install StarView to a Macintosh
Platform
-
Click here to download the installer file sv_mac_install.bin
to a temporary folder on your machine.
Note: your may need to hold down the shift key while clicking
to make your browser download the file (rather than try to display it in
the browser).
-
Once the file has been downloaded, run the installer by double clicking
on the file.
-
Once the install program is running, you need to answer the
InstallAnywhere
(IA) dialogs.
-
Clicking next will take you through the install wizard screens.
-
The installer will ask you where it should install the application (StarView).
You may install StarView anywhere you wish as long as there is at least
1 Megabyte of disk space there.
-
Along the way it will ask you for the name of the Java Virtual Machine
to be used to run StarView by listing all the Java Virtual Machines
(JVM's) it could find (Please select a Java VM for your application).
Make sure the one you select is the one you verified was version 1.2 or
later. If you do not see any Java VM's listed in the selection box,
click the Choose Another button and enter the JVM to run StarView.
-
After the install program is finished running, you may delete the sv_mac_install.bin
file as it is no longer needed.
