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).
2. Double-click the OceanViewSetup_Mac.dmg file to mount the disk image. A new OceanView
icon resembling a disk drive appears on your desktop. The new icon should open automatically (if
it doesn’t, double-click it).
3. Drag the OceanView.app icon to the Applications folder icon to install. OceanView can then be
launched from the Applications folder. If desired, double-click the Applications folder and drag
the OceanView icon from Applications to the Dock to be able to launch it more conveniently.
4. When the installation is complete, drag the OceanView drive icon to the trash can.

may not be set up for your user account), then enter the following:
su
