Installing Spartan 10 on Macintosh OS X (This works on Leopard OS X 10.5.8 and on Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.6; it requires a computer with an Intel processor)

 

  1. Download the 10_Full_1.0.1.dmg file from:

 \\rose-hulman.edu\dfs\Software\Linux_MacOSX_Apps\Spartan'10

and the hasplm.ini file from

\\rose-hulman.edu\dfs\Software\Course Software\Spartan\Spartan 10

 

  1. Open the 10_Full_1.0.1.dmg file.
  2. Copy the Spartan 10 file to the Applications folder.
  3. Open the Hardware Key Drivers folder, and run the HASP SRM RTE Installer
  4. Select Go to Folder in the Go menu of the Finder, and type /etc into the dialog.
  5. Copy the hasplm.ini file to the /etc folder. (You will need to click on Authenticate and give an administrator password to allow the copy to take place.)
  6. Run Spartan 10; if the software asks, select Network Hasp. (You may have to try clickiong Next more than once to get your computer to communicate with the license server.)
  7. As with the Windows version, your computer will need to be connected to the Rose-Hulman campus network to allow the Spartan software to communicate properly with the license server. Please Note: Rose-Hulman has 40 licenses; when you are finished running the software, please exit the software before disconnecting from the network so that others may use the software.
  8. If your computer has a multi-core processor (e.g., any Core2Duo or i7 processor), each molecule being calculated will use (at most) one core. If you need to perform calculations on more than one molecule, and you may save time by setting up calculations for at least one molecule per core, and running the calculations concurrently.
