Version 1.4                                    Last updated: June 22, 2012


Installation

Important note for OS X 10.7 or 10.8 Users: For new users, before installing Psykinematix, make sure to create a 'Psykinematix' folder in '/HD/Library/Application Support/' as an Admin user! For licensed users, before upgrading to these newer Mac OS X versions, make sure to de-activate your Psykinematix software using your license information, and re-activate it once your system has been successfully upgraded.

Installation and initial setup should be performed by an Admin user. To install, double-click on "Psykinematix.dmg". The installer will launch and perform the installation at the location you specify. Psykinematix can be installed anywhere, but the "Applications" folder on your system partition is recommended so Psykinematix remains available to all users.
