Installation:

Step 1. Installing the Software

MetaCorder software comes on CD-Rom. Insert the CD-Rom and simply drag the MetaCorder folder into the Applications folder on your hard disc.

Step 2. Installing the Dongle

You will also see a file 'Dongle Installer' on the MetaCorder CD-Rom. Double Click the installer and follow the on screen instructions. In some cases you will need to enter your password. After the installer is finished, you can insert your USB dongle to any available USB port and the red LED should light up. If it does not, restart your computer. If the dongle was already inserted when you ran the Dongle Installer, you will need to remove it, then re-insert it.

That's it. You have now installed the software and the Dongle.

The first time you run the MetaCorder software on a given CPU, you will be asked to enter the security PIN 1 user code, which you will find on the credit card accompanying the dongle. This PIN number is required in order to make stealing your dongle less attractive to a would-be thief, since it cannot be used without your PIN code to register it to a new machine. Consequently, you should store your PIN card in a safe place, where you can easily find it when moving machines, but do not reveal your PIN numbers to other people.

Note: The Dongle installer requires the OSX BSD Subsystem to have been installed on your computer. In most cases the BSD subsystem is installed with OSX, but since it is possible to turn off installation of the BSD subsystem during OSX installation, it is possible that on some computers the BSD subsystem may not be present. If, after running the dongle installer, you do not see a red LED on the dongle, you should run the OSX operating system installer and perform a custom installation of just the BSD subsystem. Then you can run the dongle installer again, and all should be well.
