Dane — Setup
One file. Double-click it. It does the rest.
Download the setup fileSaves to your Downloads folder as DANE-SETUP.zip
1
Open the downloaded zip.
Double-click it. You'll get a file called
DANE-SETUP.command with a little terminal icon.
2
Drag that file into your dane folder.
The one in Downloads that you already have.
3
Right-click it → Open → Open.
Right-click, not double-click — the first time only.
The Mac will warn you it's from an "unidentified developer." That's
normal for any file that didn't come from the App Store.
Click Open anyway.
4
Type your Mac password when it asks.
Nothing appears while you type it. No dots, no
stars, nothing moves. It is working. Type it and press
return.
5
Wait. Go get a coffee.
5–15 minutes. Tons of text scrolls past — all
normal. When it's done your browser opens Dane by itself.
Leave the black window open while you're using Dane. Closing it shuts
Dane off. To stop it on purpose: click that window and press
control + C.
Next time you want Dane, just double-click the same file
again. It skips straight to starting up.
If it goes sideways
?
It opened in TextEdit instead of a black window.
The file lost its "runnable" flag. Open Terminal
(⌘ + space, type Terminal), type
bash with a space after it, drag the file into the
window, press return.
?
It stopped with an error.
Screenshot the whole window and send it to Jared. The
file is built to tell you exactly where it gave up.
