Installing Maya for OS X
Using the Terminal and setting up a root password
by David Nagel
I've never written a tech tip on how to install any application on the Mac before. But let's face it: OS X is different, and sometimes you're going to have to do some very un-Mac-like things to get around in it. So today we're going to take a look at the first application I've encountered for OS X that requires you to go into the Terminal program and engage in a little Unix-speak to get it working. Regardless of whether you plan to use Maya at any time, this is stuff you'll have to do eventually anyway, so you might as well follow along.
