Requirements

IMPORTANT: The APPX Desktop Client only runs on Intel based Macs with OS/X 10.5 Update 1, or higher. Older Intel based Macs might be able to use a third party Java runtime but this has not been tested. Power PC based Macs will not be able to run the APPX Desktop Client at all, since Apple does not provide Java SE 6 for this platform.

In Release 5.4.4 the engine uses new SSL certificates. These are not compatible with clients prior to 5.4.4. You must either set the SSL option to 'disabled' or upgrade the client.

If you have upgraded your Intel based Mac from an earlier version of OS/X, you must make sure the Java SE 6 is the preferred runtime for Java based applications. This setting can be found in the Java Preferences application (under Applications/Utilities):

Make sure that Java JE 6 is the preferred tool for Java Applets and Java Applications. It doesn't matter if you choose the 32 or 64 bit version.

Next, you may specify whether or not you want the APPX Setup Wizard to create a shortcut on your desktop. After specifying the appropriate option, click on the "Finish" button to end the setup wizard. You can then connect to an APPX server by double clicking the desktop shortcut, or running the APPX Desktop Client from the Applications folder.

Release 5.4.2 and later

First, log on to your Mac desktop system using a user name that has administrative privileges.

Then, download the Macintosh installer from the APPX web site. This will be downloaded as a disk image file (.dmg) and will be automatically mounted on your desktop. If necessary, double click the java_osx disk image to open it.

After opening the disk image you can simply drag the client icon & drop it on the Applications folder:

Note

In order for the Mac to open files and URL's from within the Appx application, you should set '-shell=open' on the startup parameters for the client. This can be done by changing the /Applications/AppxDesktopClient/AppxDesktopClient.app/Contents/Info.plist. Look for the line <key>Arguments. Just below that line you can add a line:

Line: 74 to 85

Look in /Applications/AppxDesktopClient.app/Client and load one of the icons you see there into Preview (just double click it). You can load a different graphic if you want to use something other than the APPX logo.
In Preview, do a 'Save As', and save the file as a format ICNS graphic
Copy this file to the /Applications/AppxDesktopClient.app/Contents/Resources as 'app.icns', replacing the file that is already there.
