LDEO/Cambridge - SignalFree Installation Notes.

Mac/OSX Users
********************************  VERT IMPORTANT *******************************

The MRWE versions are legacy 32bit programs suitable for all post OSX 10.6 computers, the 
AWE versions are a pure 64bit applications. In 2020 Apple will no longer support 32 bit 
programs therefore, depending on the age of your operating system, you may be able to run
one or both. 

What follows are the prerequisite steps to run either the AWE or MRWE on Apple computers
running OSX 10.9 and greater. If you the intended OS is less then 10.9 then you may skip
step (1) and goto step (2). Step (2) is required for both the MRWE and AWE versions of the
program.

Note: What follows uses the MRWE versions by way of example only. The same rules apply
to the AWE versions using the shell command file included with the AWE distribution. 

Before launching the programs RCSsigFree2019_MRWE.app and RCSsigFree209_batch_MRWE.app 

1) Open a terminal window (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal) and navigate to the folder 
   where you have downloaded and placed this decompressed archive using the shell command "cd"
   
    Example:
    > cd desktop/SignalFree2019_MRWE 

   Then enter the following two commands.

    > chmod 0755 BlessMySigFree_MRWE.cmd
    > ./BlessMySigFree.cmd

  The first command will give execution priveldge to the shell script BlessMySigFree.cmd
  The second will execute BlessMySigFree.cmd
  
  This step will remove the com.apple.quarantine attribute from the both programs,
  RCSsigFree2019_MRWE.app and RCSsigFree209_batch_MRWE.app after which
  you can move and run the applications anywhere on your computer.


2) Copy/drag the folder PLPLOT_DATA to your Applications Folder.
