= Welcome to MacAthena =

The '''MacAthena''' project is working to bring the functionality of the [http://web.mit.edu/is/topics/athena/ Athena system] to your [http://www.apple.com/macos/ macOS] Yosemite, El Capitan, and Sierra machine.

MacAthena is a project of [http://sipb.mit.edu/ SIPB]. If you have questions or comments, please contact the [mailto:sipb-macathena@mit.edu MacAthena maintainers]

== [wiki:Install Installing MacAthena] ==

The instructions to install MacAthena are on [wiki:Install a separate page]

== Goals ==

Eventually, the MacAthena project would like to offer:

 * Full command-line compatibility with DebAthena
 * Cocoa applications to provide easy-to-use interfaces to common Athena tasks
 * 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
 * Support in common lockers, providing MacAthena users with access to the wealth of software available in AFS

== What We Have ==

At this point, the project is in the process of getting a facelift. We have the following major features:

 * AFS
 * Hesiod
 * Moira clients, including `blanche`, `stella`, and `moira`

More features are coming soon

== FAQ ==

Q: Package `xyz` that I really care about isn't in !MacAthena! Why not?

A: Well, it's possible we just haven't tried to port it yet, or maybe we haven't gotten it to work. We keep a list of [PackageBlocks packages we're having a hard time porting].
