====== TOra on Mac ======

<note warning>TOra for Mac OS X is available in the first version. Please be patient and report bugs, crashes and ideas for improvements</note>

TOra is now officially distributed for Mac OS X too. You can install TOra in three different ways:

  * Use standalone binary package
  * Use Macports
  * Compile it yourself


===== Binary Packages =====

<note important>Binary is available only for Intel architecture (32bit) and it's reported to run on //Leopard// and //Snow Leopard//. We don't have resources to build PPC build. Sorry. Use Macports then, please.</note>

  - [[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=16636|Download DMG file from sf.net.]]
  - Open DMG file, e.g. //TOra-2.1.1-intel32b.dmg//
  - Read license and accept it (if you agree of course).
  - Read //readme// file to get fresh informations.
  - Drag //TOra// icon and drop it into //Applications// icon in the DMG window.
     * TOra can be copied into any location, but //Applications// is the standard one.
  - Run //TOra// from //Applications//

===== Macports =====

  * Do it only if you know what Macports are etc.
  * Basic installation: //port install tora//
  * You have to install [[http://www.macports.org|Macports]] before.
  * TOra will install all available dependencies. So consult //variants// available to reduce it if you want to (disable oracle, postgresql).
  * TOra will require Qt4 and Qt4 SQL plugins, so //qt4-mac// with //+mysql +pgsql// variants should be installed. (Warning: it will take some time to compile it, so think about Binary Package, if you don't use any other Qt application from Macports).

===== Build From Sources =====

It's useful only of you want to join development. See [[Development]] page.
