What happens after you click

  1. The file lands in your Downloads folder. Most Macs show it straight away at the right-hand end of the Dock, at the bottom of the screen.
  2. Double-click the file. A window titled Install The OORT 2000 opens. Click Continue, then Install.
  3. Your Mac asks for your password — the one you use to log in to this computer, not an Apple password. Type it and click Install Software. This is normal; it is how a Mac installs anything.
  4. When it says it has finished, the browser is in your Applications folder. Click the Finder face at the far left of the Dock, click Applications in the sidebar, and double-click The OORT 2000.

The question your Mac asks the first time

The very first time you open it, a box appears asking whether you are sure you want to open an app that was downloaded from the internet. Click Open. Every Mac app gets this question once, and you will not be asked again. It is not a warning that anything is wrong.

If you would rather not use an installer

There is a disk image as well. Open it and drag the app to Applications yourself — the usual Mac way, if that is what you are used to. Download the disk image (953 KB)
