An Intel-based Mac running OS X 10.7 or later is required. OS X Prerequisites ================== - Lasso's :ref:`PDF functions ` require a Java 8 runtime. The latest version of Oracle's Java Runtime Environment can be downloaded from the `Java support site`_. - OS X 10.11 also requires `Java 6 from Apple`_ due to an outstanding bug in Oracle's Java distribution. Installation ============ #. Download and expand the `Lasso Server for OS X`_ installer from the LassoSoft website. #. Run the installer to perform a standard installation, which will install Lasso Server and start or restart the system's Apache. By default the following files and folders will be installed: :Apache config: - :file:`/etc/apache2/other/mod_lasso9.conf` (OS X 10.7 and later) - :file:`/etc/apache2/sites/mod_lasso9.conf` (OS X Server 10.7) - :file:`/Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/sites/mod_lasso9.conf` (OS X Server 10.8 and later) :Apache plugin: - :file:`/usr/libexec/apache2/mod_lasso9-2.2.so` (OS X 10.7 to 10.9) - :file:`/usr/local/libexec/apache2/mod_lasso9-2.4.so` (OS X 10.10 and later) :shared library: - :file:`/Library/Frameworks/Lasso9.framework` :launchd item: - :file:`/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.lassosoft.lassoinstancemanager.plist` :binaries: - :file:`/etc/paths.d/lasso` - :file:`/usr/local/lasso/lasso9` - :file:`/usr/local/lasso/lassoc` - :file:`/usr/local/lasso/lassoim` - :file:`/usr/local/lasso/lassoserver` - :file:`/usr/local/lasso/lassospitfire` :user data: - :file:`/var/lasso` #. When the installer has finished, click on the link on the web page that appears to load the initialization form (found on your own machine at :ref:`!http://localhost:8090/lasso9/lux`) and complete your Lasso installation. From here on, you can read up on using the :ref:`instance-manager` and :ref:`instance-administration` interfaces. .. note:: On OS X Server, verify that the Web or Websites service is running in Server Preferences or Server.app. .. important:: If you upgrade your OS X installation or install OS X Server after installing Lasso Server, use the installer to reinstall the Apache component to place its files in the correct locations. .. _Java support site: http://www.java.com/ .. _Java 6 from Apple: https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572 .. _Lasso Server for OS X: http://www.lassosoft.com/Lasso-9-Server-Download#Mac
