 How to set it up on a Mac:

 Due to compatibility issues between Qt and mac which cause bugs and crashes, the most stable option is to install WINE and run a windows executable of CARA.

 Download WINE from [[http://www.winehq.org/|here]].

 Afterwards download a windows executable of CARA from [[http://cara.nmr.ch/doku.php/cara_downloads|here]] and follow the [[InstallCara|instructions for windows]].

 If you have a !PowerPC or Intel Mac running and OS before OSX, it also possible to use Darwin X11 as described below:

 Install latest version of X11 for your architecture (!PowerPC or Intel)

 Download cara_1.5.3_osx and copy to your applications directory.
  Start X11 and go to directory where the download is (frequently /home/username/Desktop)
  E.g. <pre>cd home/username/Desktop</pre>
       <pre>cp cara_1.5.3_osx /home/username/APPLICATIONS/cara</pre>

 cd to the directory that you copied it to:
  E.g. <pre>cd /home/username/APPLICATIONS/</pre>

 Make it executable:
  E.g. <pre>chmod a+x cara</pre>

 Make sure the directory is in the $PATH of your .cshrc file
  E.g.
  <pre>cd</pre>
  <pre>nedit .cshrc</pre>
  The line with"$PATH" should include the directory where the executable is located.
  <pre>$PATH /home/username/APPLICATIONS</pre>

 Now you can type one of the following in the X11 window and CARA will start:

  To start cara without template:
  <pre>cara</pre>

  To start cara with the standard template 
  Change to the directory containing the standard template:
  E.g.
  <pre>cd /home/username/CARAprojects/</pre>
  Start CARA and open template
  <pre>cara Start1.2.cara</pre>

  To start cara with your own repository:
  Change to the directory containing your repository
  <pre>cd /home/username/CARAprojects/</pre>
  Start CARA and open repository
  <pre>cara MyRepository.cara</pre>
