3.3 Mac OSX

Once you have installed both an X11R6 server and GNU Backgammon for MacOS X, you can run GNU Backgammon for MacOS X by:

  1. Start your X11R6 server;
  2. Once your X11R6 server is running, in one of its Terminal windows (by default, Apple's X11 opens one such window at start-up, and XDarwin opens three), do the following:
    1. If you have installed GNU Backgammon in your private Applications folder, type cd Applications/gnubg to get into GNU Backgammon for MacOS X's folder, and then type ./gnubg to run it;
    2. If you have installed GNU Backgammon in the global, top-level Applications folder, type cd /Applications/gnubg to get into GNU Backgammon for MacOS X's folder, and type ./gnubg to run it;
