To install, right click on boomer342.pkg and click on Continue. Enter your admin name and password when requested. Continue to follow the installer instructions. When finished boomer, cDAT, eBest and eOUT will be installed in /usr/local/bin; libquadmath.0.dylib will be installed in /usr/local/gfortran/lib and BoomerManual.pdf will be installed in /Applications. This package is now signed!!!

- Now distributed as a signed installer package, enjoy.
- Mac OS X Version 3.4.1 as a zip file containing boomer, cDAT, eOUT, and eBest. [8 October 2017].
To install: Login in with your admin account. Return to this page and download the file. Unzip the file. In the Terminal app (Applications:Utilities) Change directory, cd, to the enclosing folder and sudo cp or mv each program into /usr/local/bin.
e.g. >sudo cp boomer /usr/local/bin/boomer
and enter the root password. This will put the programs into your PATH. You will need root access to perform the sudo commands. You can now log out of the admin account and use boomer and the other programs from any folder.

Double clicking on the package file after it has been downloaded will install boomer and a required library file. For the Macintosh/UNIX versions below you will need to 'install' boomer manually if you want it to be available from any folder. As an administrator user you can move boomer to your PATH and thereby invoke the program globally (from any folder such as a data containing folder). Open the Terminal program and change directory (cd) to the folder containing boomer. This will be your download folder. The downloaded file is zip archive which will usually be expanded automatically.
Issue the command
sudo cp boomer /usr/bin/boomer
Enter password
this will put boomer in a directory usually included in your PATH variable. You should now be able to run the program by typing boomer from any directory.

sudo cp boomer /usr/bin/boomer
Enter password
from your download folder (where the new version of boomer resides) will put boomer in a directory usually included in your PATH variable. This can be checked with the command:
echo $PATH
- Linux/Fedora 5 version Version 3.3.1 [11 Apr 2006]
- Transition to gfortran (use earlier versions if you have problems with this version - please report problems to david@boomer.org)
- with cDAT and eOUT (see above for other changes)
- Untar the downloaded file with
tar -xvzf fboomer331.tar.gz
As an administrator user you can move boomer to your PATH and thereby invoke the program globally. The command:
sudo cp boomer /usr/bin/boomer
Enter password

echo $PATH
- Linux/Fedora 2 version Version 3.1.2 [1 Dec 2004]

echo $PATH
