Installing on a Macintosh Platform
You must be logged on as an administrative user to install OceanView on your Mac. Total download
is approximately 35 MB.
Note
Newer versions of MacOSX do not ship with Java so you may need to manually
install a recent Java release before installing OceanView. Instructions to download a
recent Java release for different versions of OSX can be found at:
There is also a direct link for the Java for OSX 10.7.3 and newer at

► Procedure
1. Navigate to the link you received to the OceanView software and download the installer
(OceanViewSetup_Mac.dmg).

icon resembling a disk drive appears on your desktop. The new icon should open

be launched from the Applications folder. If desired, double-click the Applications folder and
