<h1>MacAthena</h1> |
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 |
<p>The <strong>MacAthena</strong> project is working to bring the functionality of the <a href="http://web.mit.edu/is/topics/athena/">Athena system</a> to your <a href="http://www.apple.com/macosx/">Mac OS X</a> Tiger or Leopard system.</p> |
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 |
<h2>Goals</h2> |
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 |
<p>Eventually, the MacAthena project would like to offer:</p> |
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 |
<ul> |
|---|
| 20 |
<li>Full command-line compatability with Linux Athena</li> |
|---|
| 21 |
<li>Cocoa applications to provide easier to use interfaces to common Athena tasks</li> |
|---|
| 22 |
<li>A package based system allowing MacAthena users to setup anything from a few utilities to a system with Kerberos-based logins and AFS home directories</li> |
|---|
| 23 |
<li>Support in common lockers, providing MacAthena users with access to the wealth of software available in AFS</li> |
|---|
| 24 |
</ul> |
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 |
<h2>Install Instructions</h2> |
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 |
<h3 id="preinstall">Preparing Your System</h3> |
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 |
<p>MacAthena takes advantage of several other software packages that are required to install MacAthena.</p> |
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 |
<ol> |
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 |
<li><p>First, you should install the <a href="http://web.mit.edu/macdev/KfM/Common/Documentation/osx-kerberos-extras.html">OS X Kerberos Extras</a>. These will configure your computer for the ATHENA.MIT.EDU Kerberos realm.</p></li> |
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 |
<li><p>Second, many components in MacAthena depend on <a href="http://www.openafs.org/macos.html">AFS</a>, the distributed network filesystem. MacAthena is tested on <a href="http://www.openafs.org/macos.html">version 1.4.6 </a>of OpenAFS.</p></li> |
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 |
<li><p>You'll also need the Mac OS X Developer Tools, which can be installed either from your Mac OS X install CD or DVD, or downloaded from the <a href="http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/">Apple Developer Connection</a>.</p></li> |
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 |
<li><p>Finally, MacAthena uses the <a href="http://www.finkproject.org/index.php">Fink</a> project for package management. If you are using Mac OS X Tiger, there is a <a href="http://www.finkproject.org/download/index.php?phpLang=en">binary distribution</a> available. If you're using Mac OS X Leopard, you'll need to download the <a href="http://www.finkproject.org/download/srcdist.php">source distribution</a> and bootstrap using the instructions on that page.</p> |
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 |
<p>When you install Fink, there are a few important settings to ensure the best compatibility with MacAthena. You should be sure to enable the unstable branch. Also, in the mirror selection section, you should be sure to ‘Search “Master” source mirrors last.’</p> |
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 |
<blockquote><pre>The Fink team maintains mirrors known as "Master" mirrors, which contain the |
|---|
| 45 |
sources for all fink packages. You can choose to use these mirrors first, last, |
|---|
| 46 |
never, or mixed in with regular mirrors. If you don't care, just select the |
|---|
| 47 |
default. |
|---|
| 48 |
|
|---|
| 49 |
(1) Search "Master" source mirrors first. |
|---|
| 50 |
(2) Search "Master" source mirrors last. |
|---|
| 51 |
(3) Never use "Master" source mirrors. |
|---|
| 52 |
(4) Search closest source mirrors first. (combine all mirrors into one set) |
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 |
What mirror order should fink use when downloading sources? [2] <kbd>2</kbd> |
|---|
| 55 |
</pre></blockquote> |
|---|
| 56 |
|
|---|
| 57 |
<p>Once you've finished installing Fink, you'll want to run:</p> |
|---|
| 58 |
|
|---|
| 59 |
<pre>/sw/bin/pathsetup.sh</pre> |
|---|
| 60 |
|
|---|
| 61 |
<p>and click OK in the dialog that displays.</p></li> |
|---|
| 62 |
|
|---|
| 63 |
<li><p>If you have used Google's installer for MacFUSE, you may want to uninstall it. We will install our own version of FUSE as part of the MacAthena install process. Google maintains <a href="http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/wiki/FAQ#2._Install/Uninstall_Questions">instructions</a> on how to uninstall FUSE</p></li> |

<p>To install MacAthena, first run:</p> |
|---|
| 70 |
|
|---|
| 71 |
<pre><kbd>cd /svn/fink/dists</kbd> |
|---|
| 72 |
<kbd>sudo svn co https://macathena.mit.edu/svn/trunk/fink/ macathena</kbd></pre> |
|---|
| 73 |
|

| 74 |
<p>You'll get a warning about the SSL certificate. If you'd like, you can verify it against the fingerprint on <a href="https://macathena.mit.edu/" class="tooltip" title="This page is accessible from HTTPS, and your browser should be able to verify the server's authenticity becuase the certificate is signed by the MIT Certificate Authority">a secure page</a>: <tt>F8:C5:9C:10:22:23:2E:56:1D:8A:53:7C:FD:9C:3B:96:8A:A2:71:BA</tt></p> |
|---|
| 75 |
|
|---|
| 76 |
<p>Next, edit <tt>/sw/etc/fink.conf</tt> with whatever text editor you prefer, and edit the <tt>Trees:</tt> line to read:</p> |
|---|
| 77 |
|
|---|
| 78 |
<pre>Trees: local/main stable/main stable/crypto unstable/main unstable/crypto macathena/main</pre> |

| 82 |
<p>If you are using an Intel Mac, we are testing a binary distributions. If you are not using an Intel Mac or wish to compile all packages from source, feel free to skip to the <a href="#package-install">Install the Packages</a> section.</p> |
|---|
| 83 |
|
|---|
| 84 |
<p>To use the binary distribution, first find the <tt>UseBinaryDist</tt> line in <tt>/sw/etc/fink.conf</tt> and set it to</p> |
|---|
| 85 |
|
|---|
| 86 |
<pre>UseBinaryDist: true</pre> |
|---|
| 87 |
|
|---|
| 88 |
<p>Next, edit <tt>/sw/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> and add the following lines to the very beginning of the file:</p> |

| 98 |
<pre><kbd>fink index</kbd> |
|---|
| 99 |
