14 Installing Shake 3.5
When installing or saving files, including project files, consider who needs access to these
items. Use the following to help determine where to locate files:
m Shared folder within the Users directory: All users have access to this folder, making this
a good location to save and store files that you want others to use.
Computer/Volume/Users/Shared
For example, if you want all users to have access to the tutorial media, copy the
appropriate folder from the Shake 3.5 installation CD to this Shared folder in the Users
directory on a volume root.
m Public folder within a user’s home directory: The user must turn on file sharing in
Sharing preferences so other users can access this folder.
Computer/Volume/Users/Username/Public OR Home/Public
m Volume roots: All users typically have access to the volume roots, which are all of the
connected volumes or hard disk drives. If all users need access to specific applications,
such as Shake 3.5, make sure you install these applications in an accessible folder on a
volume root, such as the Applications folder.
Note: For information on setting preferences and environment variables, see Chapter 17,
“Customizing Shake,” in the Shake Reference Guide.Uninstalling Shake 3.5
Uninstalling Shake 3.5
This section discusses uninstalling Shake 3.5 and its associated files.
Important Although custom files are generally stored in the nreal folder of the Users
directory, be sure to back up any custom files that may be stored in the Shake directory that
you want to save before you uninstall Shake.
To uninstall Shake 3.5:
1 Drag the Shake3.50 folder to the Trash (located in the Dock).
2 In the Library/Receipts folder, drag the Shake3.50.pkg and ShakeTutorial.pkg files to the
trash.
Note: If you did not install the tutorial files, only the Shake3.50.pkg file appears in the
Receipts folder.
3 Empty the Trash contents.
Note: If the Shake3.50.pkg and ShakeTutorial.pkg files are not removed from the Receipts
folder prior to installing Shake again, the Shake Installer shows that you are upgrading Shake.
The Shake3.50.pkg and ShakeTutorial.pkg files are simply overwritten.
This process does not remove the nreal folder in the user directory that is created when
Shake is run for the first time. This folder usually contains your custom settings, such as
macros, machine and user interface settings, icons, and autosaved scripts.
