Fink has also very recently released a binary installer for OS X 10.5, so Leopard users don’t have to compile from source anymore. I decided to go with Fink, just because other physicists seem to use it. You have two choices, Fink and MacPorts (formerly DarwinPorts).
AQUAMACS PREVIEW GHOSTSCRIPT INSTALL
You’ll also want to have a package manager to install Linux-based packages. That’s it! You can unmount the dmg file and throw it in the trash. To uninstall such programs, just take the app file and move it to the trash. In this image the X11 program Gimp is providing a nice splash screen that makes it really easy to move the app file into your Applications folder. Some programs will even make this step easier for you, for example: Copy this file into your favorite folder (try the “applications” folder). Double clicking them prompts you to mount the drive, which then pops out an app file. You’ve already met pkg packages which have their own installers. Most ‘normal’ programs, however, come in a handy dmg format, where the file mimics an external drive. Here’s a quick look at my “Downloads” folder after a day of OS X:
AQUAMACS PREVIEW GHOSTSCRIPT HOW TO
Now is a good time to point out how to install “normal” OS X and X11 apps. (Un)Installing Stuff: Native OS X and X11 Apps This will install, among other things, the gcc compiler which you’ll need to install all those *nix-based physics programs. Double click “XcodeTools.mpkg” and install the whole thing. These are on the OS X disc #2 that came with your system. The next step is to install the Xcode Developers Tools. Just download and double-click the pkg file. Update: Actually, you’ll want the latest version of X11 from the XQuartz project.

You will already have X11 pre-installed, but if not you can install it easily by following the instructions from the OS X disc #1 that came with you system.
AQUAMACS PREVIEW GHOSTSCRIPT UPDATE
Perhaps the biggest “OS X for Physicists” update with Leopard (the 10.5 version of OS X) is that more things are ready-to-go out of the box. Finally, you might want to set the dock to hide automatically especially if you’re using Quicksilver (see below). I also suggest using “active screen corners” in Expose to make it easier to swap between windows on cluttered screens (command-tab works too). If you’re on a small laptop screen, you might also want to configure Apple Spaces.

Presto, no more issues with Apple only having one mouse button. This allows me to click by tapping the track pad, and right-click by tapping with two fingers. Go to System Preferences (it’s on your Dock) and click on “Keyboard & Mouse.” Here are my settings: If you’re on a MacBook (Pro), the first thing you’ll want to do is tweak the trackpad configuration to allow right-clicks. Upon plugging in and turning on your machine, OS X will guide you through a quick set up and registration. (If these are issues, one can dual boot using the BootCamp utility.) Finally, the support community isn’t as large or eager as Ubuntu’s and it’s not as easy to find non-standard packages. Start up times, while much better than Windows, are still slower than Linux. Most of the functional features have either been borrowed from Linux distributions or have already been copied by them. Users coming from a Linux background won’t be terribly impressed by Leopard’s eye-candy. One caveat: OS X, unfortunately, isn’t perfect.

Also, AppleCare is attached to a computer serial number, so that if you sell your machine, the remaining warranty transfers automatically, bolstering a machine’s resale value. You’ll want to be able to take advantage of their top-notch customer service. Apple’s build quality is very good, but this doesn’t make them immune for the occasional gaffes. One note: consider the AppleCare 3-year warranty as a required purchase.

Wireless networking and battery life seem to be a notch better than similar PC systems, and even things like ‘right click’ can be implemented painlessly (see below). In general, I’ve been rather impressed with Apple’s build quality. (Think about that the next time you try to play one of TASI’s wmv files in Linux…) This means you can (usually) run all of your favorite Linux-based physics applications while also having the luxury of a commercially-supported multimedia system. One of the main reasons for this is that OS X runs Linux Unix under the hood. Most physicists will have already noticed the rapid adoption of Apple technology in academia. I borrow heavily from Professor Murayama’s OS X for Physicists, but have tried to focus on tidbits that have either been updated or aren’t covered there. I’ve recently purchased a new MacBook and thought I’d share some set-up information.
