Is this snippet from the read me the way to get sage to launch from the dock on
a Mac? I'm a Mac noob.
2) Drag the sage folder somewhere, e.g., /Applications
** WARNING ** If you get an error copying the folder do the following:
Do not drag the the folder out of the dmg image. Use the
shell (via Terminal) and do a
"cp -R -P /Volumes/sage-2.9.2-OSX10.4-intel-i386-Darwin/sage ."
from the location where you want to install to. Adjust the name of the
Volume as needed.
3) Use finder to visit the sage folder you just copied it and double click on
the "sage" icon.
4) Select to run it with "Terminal":
Choose Applications, then select "All Applications" in the
"Enable:" drop down. Change the "Applications" drop down
to "Utilities". On the left, scroll and select "Terminal".
Click "Open", then in the next dialog select "Update".
5) Sage should pop up in a window.
Thanks!
