System requirements: Mac OS X 10.6 or higher, with Java 1.6 or higher.
Instructions:
If you have an older version of Mesquite, you may want to delete it (by deleting Mesquite_Folder), so as to avoid getting confused as to what version of Mesquite is starting up. First, however, you may want to take from Mesquite_Folder/mesquite any third party packages (e.g., PDAP, TreeSetViz) before deleting the directory.
If the downloaded file doesn't mount into a disk image automatically, double click it to mount. You will see a Mesquite_Folder. Drag this Mesquite_Folder to your hard drive (e.g., your Applications folder). Its contents should be approximately as follows:
Mesquite_Folder
com/
corejava
documentation.html
edu/
examples/
images/
jars/
lesser.txt
lib/
mesquite/
Mesquite.app
org/
OtherWaysToStartMesquite
settings/
README-Starting Mesquite on Mac OS X.txt
Double click the Mesquite icon to start Mesquite. If you don't have Java installed, you will be asked to install it.
There are other executables to start Mesquite, within the folder OtherWaysToStartMesquite. They give you different options, for example, for amount of memory used. See the file "README-Starting Mesquite on Mac OS X.txt" for instructions.
On Mac OS X 10.9 or below, Mesquite runs best with Java 1.6. On Mac OS X 10.0 or higher, Mesquite runs best on Java 1.7 or higher. To install Java 1.7 or higher, get it from http://java.com.
