The Carbon APIs have been modified to work properly with Mac OS X, especially with the foundation of the operating system, the kernel environment. Carbon applications can run on Mac OS X, Mac OS 9, and all versions of Mac OS 8 later than Mac OS 8.1. Classic An application environment on Mac OS X that lets you run non-Carbon legacy Mac OS software. 1 Welcome to the Mac OS X Installation Guide This document describes the procedure for installing the Mac OS X FTDIUSBSerial driver for FTDI's FT2232C, FT232BM, FT245BM, FT8U232AM and FT8U245AM devices. The driver is available for free download from the Drivers section of the FTDI€web€site. To view the USB vendor and product ids in Mac OS X, run the System Report, or USB Mac Probe utility as shown below: System Report. For pre Mac OS X Lion you select the 'More Info' option first then the System Report. Once the system report is shown expand the USB devices and locate the touch screen from the listed USB controllers.
When Steve Jobs created NeXT Computer in 1985 they began designing an operating system called NextStep to run on their own hardware. NeXT eventually abandoned hardware development and modified their OS to run on several other platforms and hardware architectures and called it OpenStep.When Apple Computer purchased NeXT in 1996 they acquired this operating system. Apple had been developing the Copland operating system to replace their Mac OS but the project was ended due to development problems and costs. Their new project was called Rhapsody and it was going to be a combination of OpenStep with a Macintosh user interface. This developed into the Mac OS X project which was predominantly the same as the Rhapsody development with the addition of code & support to provide a successful environment for legacy Mac OS applications and easier porting.
Road Map
Mac OS X is the first complete overhaul of Apple's operating system since the first one was launched about 17 years ago in 1984. Below is a road map of highlights (or lowlights) in the road to Mac OS X.

Mac OS X installation
Installing OSS on a Mac is very straightforward. The Short Version below should be sufficient ; if not use the More Detailed Version.
Short Version
- Make sure you have JAVA 6 or newer correctly installed
- Download the latest stable build tar.gz
- Deflate it and run start.sh, which you'll find within the OSS folder
- Open your favorite browser with the URL http://yourserver:9090 (replace yourserver by localhost if it's running on your own machine)
- Enjoy discovering OpenSearchServer
More Detailed Version
The following covers the same steps as above, in more detail.
Checking your Java version
In a shell, enter the command line
Mac Os X Iso
Check whether your Java version is 6 or newer:
- If your version is not Version 6 or greater you'll need to update your Java engine
- If you don't have Java, install it (see below)
Downloading OSS
We recommend that you always get the latest version of OSS on SourceForge.
Please download the tar.gz or zip package, then deflate it as in the example below:
or
Once unzipped you'll get a folder called opensearchserver. All your OSS binaries (and your future data) will be stored within this folder.
Apple Mac Os X Download
Running it
At this stage, running OSS on Mac still requires one command line. This means you have to use the Terminal application, which is in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder of your Mac.
Mac Os X Leopard
Using the Terminal, go to your newly-downloaded OpenSearchServer folder. Once there, launch the Start application by typing in ./start.sh. Open your favorite browser with the URL http://yourserver:9090 (replace yourserver by localhost if it's running on your own machine). That's it!
Running it without knowing anything about Terminal mode
If you have never used the Terminal before, you may not know how to go to the OpenSearchServer folder. This is simple, as you'll only need to understand the basics of two simple Unix-style commands:
- if you type ls (the letter L and the letter S, short for 'list'), the Terminal will list all the files and folders in the folder you're currently in. This allows you to know where you are and what you can access.
- if you type cd (short for 'change directory'), the Terminal will go the place you specify (for instance cd downloads to enter the 'downloads' directory).
Mac Os X Document Management
Thus, if you type ls and see that the folder you are currently in has a folder called Downloads, typing cd Downloads will take you within that folder. There, a typical user would type ls again to see whether the OpenSearchServer folder is indeed there.
Typing cd opensearchserver will take the user into the OpenSearchServer folder, where the start.sh file we're looking for is located.
