Once you have created the standalone, you need to do the following: 1. Select served.app in the finder. 2. Right-click and select "Show Package Contents" 3. You will find a file called served that finder describes as a Unix executable. 4. Copy the file to the folder from which you want to run it. 5. Open terminal 6. Change to the folder (in 4 above). 7. ./served -ui I found out how to do this from a post on the RunRev Forums from R.Robert Hope this is what you were looking for.
