NoraH: I too had the "No templates included" issue.
I read through the logs of the installation, and found this command. I logged in as myself - the user that copied the files into the /Applications directory. *cd /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/ python -tt configure.py --with-version-suffix=-2.0* I reran the command and all of the code installed properly in the Application directory without errors. (There were errors in the cleanup parts of the script in the initial install.) Then I manually copied the files from the LyX.app directories to the user ~/Library/Application\ Support directories. Where cp -a is copy with archive, that option keeps dates and permissions the same for the files and sub directories that the command copies, and does the copy recursively. Let me know if this helps. I looked for an installer script in the Resource in the Application but found none. I could not find a proper installer in the configure.py code either. *cp -a templates/* ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-2.0/templates/. cp -a layouts/* ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-2.0/layouts/. cp -a kbd/* ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-2.0/kbd/. cp -a images/* ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-2.0/images/. cp -a examples/* ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-2.0/examples/. cp -a doc/* ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-2.0/doc/. cp -a bind/* ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-2.0/bind/. * Regards, sanug -- View this message in context: http://lyx.475766.n2.nabble.com/Mac-OSX-LyX-Install-No-templates-included-tp478050p7580137.html Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
