Installation Manual

INSTALLATION
Download the file Z88AuroraV4_en.dmg from the Z88 webseite and open it. The following
files can be found in your Z88Aurora-DMG:
Z88Aurora V4 install script Setup.app
Z88Aurora V4 archive z88aurorav4_en.tar.gz
GTK for Z88Aurora install script GTK-setup.app
GTK for Z88Aurora archive GTK4Z88.tar.gz
Z88Aurora V4 start script Z88AuroraV4.app

Please download in addition:


XQuartz https://www.xquartz.org/

1. Installation of XQuartz
For Z88Aurora and Z88Arion, you will need to install XQuartz first. This is reasoned by the
fact that Apple doesnt include X11 in their newer operating systems any more. XQuartz is an
open-source project and provides an X Window System for OS X. XQuartz can be download-
ed at https://www.xquartz.org/.

General hint for macOS:


Programs which arent from App Store or certificated developers (like XQuartz or
Z88Aurora), eventually cant be executed by double click. You have to do a right click and
then choose open. After accepting a warning, the program can be executed as known
before. If you are working with the Terminal, you dont have this problem: executing
programs from the Terminal works the same way as before.

2. Installation of GTK for Z88Aurora


You can install the GTK-Package automatically by using the install script GTK-setup.app in
your Z88Aurora-DMG. You will be prompted for your admin password.
If the install script does not work correctly, you can manually install the GTK-Package: Copy
the file GTK4Z88.tar.gz to an arbitrary directory (for example your home directory). Now you
have to unzip the archive. Please open a Terminal window. You can find Terminal in Finder
under Go > Utilities > Terminal.

3
Installation Manual

Navigate to the folder containing the GTK package (for your home directory, the terminal
should be there by default, otherwise use cd to switch to the home directory) and execute
the following command:
sudo tar -xvf GTK4Z88.tar.gz -C /opt
You will be asked for your admin password, afterwards the GTK package is extracted.

3. Install Z88Aurora V4
Use the install script Setup.app to install Z88Aurora automatically. You will be prompted for
your admin password.
If the install script does not work correctly, you can run the installation manually:
Copy the file z88aurorav4_en.tar.gz from your Z88Aurora-DMG to your home directory.
Extract the files by running the following commands in Terminal. You can find Terminal in
Finder under Go > Utilities > Terminal. With the command cd you can switch to your home
directory. Then run this command (admin password required):
sudo tar xvf z88aurorav4_en.tar.gz
A directory called z88aurorav4 will be created in your home directory. Finish the installation
by setting the correct file permissions via Terminal:
cd z88aurorav4
sudo chmod 777 *
cd bin/mac
sudo chmod 777 *

4. Install the Z88Aurora V4 start script


Copy the Z88Aurora start script Z88AuroraV4.app from the Z88Aurora-DMG to your applica-
tion folder.

5. Install a video player


In order to watch the Z88Aurora example videos under macOS you need to install a WMV-
compatible video player (for example VLC Player).
Just download the program of your choice and follow its installation guide.
