Installing Demeter on a Mac Using Parallels

While there is not yet a native Mac OS installer for Demeter, it can be run under Windows using the Parallels virtual environment. This has been tested using Windows XP in Parallels 6 runnng under Snow Leopard, but should also work under other configurations. Please update this wiki page as other configurations are tested and found to work (or not). There are two special notes for installation:

• Copy the .exe installer file to the Windows virtual disk, and launch the installer from there.
• When prompted, choose a location on the Windows virtual disk to install Strawberry Perl.

Other than that, the software should be able to run normally. For example, you can write and read data files from your Mac OS X disk, if you so choose.
