    <title>Argyll Installation on Apple OS X</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1> <u>Installing the software on Apple OS X<br>
      </u></h1>
    <br>
    You will need to unpack the downloaded file in such a way that the
    files it contains end up in the location you have chosen to hold its
    contents.<br>
    <br>
    If you want to install it system wide, then you probably want to
    unpack it in the <i>/Applications</i> folder, so that it ends up in
    the <i>/Applications/Argyll_VX.X.X</i> folder.<br>
    Another option is just to install it somewhere under your $HOME
    folder, such as <span style="font-style: italic;">$HOME/</span><i>Argyll_VX.X.X</i>
    or <span style="font-style: italic;">$HOME/</span><i>bin/Argyll_VX.X.X</i>,
    depending on how you like to organize your applications and utility
    programs. ($HOME is the shell symbolic name for your home folder,
    typically /Users/<i>username</i>. Another abbreviation for it is the
    ~ character.)<br>
    <br>
    You can unpack it by control-click on the downloaded file and “Open
    With” BOMArchiveHelper or Archive Utility. Drag the resulting folder
    to where you want it, e.g. into <i>/Applications</i>, <i>$HOME</i>
    or <i>$HOME/bin</i>.<br>
    <br>
    Alternatively you can unpack it on the command line using&nbsp; the
    command <span style="font-weight: bold;">tar -zxf</span> <span
      style="font-weight: bold;">archivename.tgz</span>, which will
    create a folder <span style="font-weight: bold;">Argyll_VX.X.X</span>
    in your current folder, where X.X.X is the version number, and the
    executables will be in <span style="font-weight: bold;">Argyll_VX.X.X/bin</span>
    sub-folder.<br>
    <br>
    Open a Terminal shell. This will be in
    Applications-&gt;Utilities-&gt;Terminal (Dragging it to the dock is
    a good idea to make it more accessible).<br>
    <br>
    You should configure your $PATH environment variable to give the
    shell access to the executable from your command line environment
    without having to spell out the whole path every time, by editing
    your <span style="font-weight: bold;">.profile</span> file, which
    will be in your $HOME folder. You can open a graphical editor on
    this file by using the open command:<br>
    <br>
    &nbsp; open $HOME/.profile<br>
    <br>
    or alternatively, use some other text editor that you are familiar
    with.<br>
    <br>
    Add a line similar to the following line to your .profile file:<br>
    <br>
    &nbsp; PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Argyll_VX.X.X/bin<br>
    <br>
    where "/Applications/Argyll_VX.X.X/bin" is the path to the folder
    that contains the ArgyllCMS executables.<br>
    Save your changes and exit the editor.<br>
    <br>
    If you want further guidance in setting up and using a command line
    environment, then please consult an appropriate tutorial, e.g. &lt;<a
href="http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/matloff/public_html/UnixAndC/Unix/ShellIntro.pdf">ShellIntro</a>&gt;.<br>
    <br>
    The .tgz file also contains several useful reference files (such as
    scanner chart recognition templates, sample illumination spectrum
    etc.) in the <b>ref</b> sub-folder, as well as all the current
    documentation in a <b>doc</b> sub-folder.<br>
    <br>
    For most devices there is nothing special to do. Plug in and go.
    Some devices may not work without some extra help though:<br>
    <h3><a name="ColorMunki"></a><span style="text-decoration:
        underline;">X-Rite ColorMunki</span></h3>
    Some version of X-Rite's ColorMunki drivers released between 2009
    and 2011 install an X-Rite daemon that runs as root and grabs the
    device, preventing any other programs (such as Argyll) from opening
    them. Latter versions seem to be more cooperative, and don't suffer
    from this problem. There are three ways of working around this
    problem:<br>
    <br>
    1) Turn off the X-Rite service for the ColorMunki. See &lt;<a
      class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.xrite.com/product_overview.aspx?ID=1161&amp;Action=support&amp;SupportID=4980">http://www.xrite.com/product_overview.aspx?ID=1161&amp;Action=support&amp;SupportID=4980</a>&gt;.<br>
    <br>
    2) Run all Argyll programs that need to access the instrument as
    root. For instance:<br>
    <br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; sudo spotread<br>
    <br>
    and then you will be asked for the root password.<br>
    While these methods will work, they are inconvenient. <br>
    <br>
    3) Alter the X-Rite drivers Daeomon so that it runs under your user
    account.<br>
    <br>
    To do this you need to edit the script that controls the X-Rite
    Daemon.<br>
    <br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; cd ~<br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; whoami<br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; cp
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.xrite.device.colormunki.plist temp.plist<br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; open temp.plist<br>
    <br>
    and add one child below the root:<br>
    <br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Item&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Type&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;









      Value&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
    </span><br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; UserName &nbsp;
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
string&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;









    myusername<br>
    <br>
    where "myusername" is your username shown by whoami, and save the
    file. You then need to copy the modified file back: <br>
    <br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; sudo cp temp.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.xrite.device.colormunki.plist<br>
    <br>
    You will then need to restart the machine for this change to take
    effect, or invoke the following commands:<br>
    <br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp; sudo launchctl unload
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.xrite.device.colormunki.plist<br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp; sudo launchctl load
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.xrite.device.colormunki.plist<br>
    <br>
    <span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE</span> that after running
    Argyll tools, you may have to turn the X-Rite service off then on
    again, or disconnect and reconnect the instrument.<br>
    <br>
    <h3><a name="ColorMunki"></a><span style="text-decoration:

    <span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE</span> that after running

    <br>
    <h3><a name="specbos"></a><span style="text-decoration: underline;">JETI
specbos









        1201 and 1211</span> and <u>Klein K10A</u><br>
    </h3>
    <br>
    If you are using the <b>JETI</b> specbos <span style="font-weight:
      bold;">1211</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>and <b>1201</b>,
    or the <b>Klein K10A</b> then you may need to install the <a
      href="http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm">FTDI Virtual COM
      Port Drivers</a> (VCP), if they are not already on your system.<br>
    <br>
    <h3><a name="HCFR"></a><u>HCFR Colorimeter</u></h3>
    The default OS X class drivers will grab this device, preventing
    Argyll from accessing it. To overcome this, you need to install a
    codeless kernel extension if you wish to use the HCFR colorimeter,
    that prevents this from happening. From the command line you need to
    create a folder called Argyll.kext somewhere convenient, and then
    place in it one file called Info.plist, containing the following:<br>
    <br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ----------------- cut here ---------------------<br>

    supplying the appropriate root password when prompted.<br>
    Reboot the system to activate the extension.<br>
