Download INDI Library & 3rd party drivers for Mac OS X.

First time install

To install INDI on an OS X machine you need to install macports first (http://www.macports.org/install.php)

Once installed you can install the lastest INDI version typing in the terminal:

sudo port install indi

The first time, it may take a lot of time to download, compile and install all necesary dependencies. Be patient.

Note also than this only installs the main INDI project, but not 3rd party drivers.

Upgrading

To update to a newer version is as simple as all upgrades in macports.

Type:

sudo port selfupdate

in order to update macports and the ports tree.

sudo port upgrade outdated

this will upgrade all outdated software installed by macports.

3rd party drivers

Drivers available with macports:

MaxDome II

 sudo port install indi_maxdomeii
