Installation on Mac issue
« on: June 11, 2008, 05:07:59 am »
I have downloaded the Mac OS installation and opened the package and ran the installbuilder, this is where the problem starts:

I get the following terminal error:

/Users/Kevin/Desktop/PlaneShift-v0.4.00-OSX/PlaneShift-v0.4.00.app/Contents/MacOS/installbuilder: cannot execute binary file
logout

I really have no idea what I am doing or if I am even attempting in the installation correctly.  I have looked around on the site and on the forum but I cannot find any step by step instructions on how to install the game.

I am running Mac OSX 10.5.3

Is there somewhere you can point me to locate how to actually perform the installation properly.

Thanks

yes, full administrator rights

I extracted the zip file's contents to the desktop, opened the .app, opened the contents folder, opened the mac os folder and ran the installbuilder and that is the error I got.

Did I do this right?

I cannot find any instructions on how to install this game.

Just double-click the .app. Don't open the contents folder. ;)
