    11== Installing GSAS-II with a Single-Step Download (with figures) ==
    22
    3 This process downloads an installer that will place a working version of Python and the required packages onto your computer, it will then initially install a slightly out-of-date version of GSAS-II including the binaries files needed for running on a Mac. Finally, the distribution site will be checked and updates will be applied to bring GSAS-II up to date (usually with minor download requirements). This installer can be moved to computers without an internet connection and then run on them. This will provide a working, but not quite up-to-date version of GSAS-II. Transferring this installer can also be used to decrease the amount of downloads needed where network access is slow or expensive.
     3This process downloads an installer that will place a working version of Python and the required packages onto your computer, it will then initially install a slightly out-of-date version of GSAS-II including the binaries files needed for running on a Mac. If internet access is available, the GSAS-II distribution site will be checked and updates will be applied to bring GSAS-II up to date. If the installer is moved to a computer without an internet connection, this will provide a working, though slightly out-of-date, copy of GSAS-II.

    55Use the following steps to install GSAS-II on a Mac:
    66
    77=== Step 1:===
    8 Open a terminal window (use the Terminal app in !Applications/Utilities folder; typing terminal.app into the finder search box should find this for you).
    9 
    10 In that window cut and paste the three commands below:
     8In this step you will ​download a file and then use bash to run it. A simple way to do this is to open a terminal window (use the Terminal app in !Applications/Utilities folder; typing terminal.app into the finder search box should find this for you).
     9
     10In that window cut and paste the two commands below:
    1111
    1212{{{
    13 mkdir -p ~/.conda
    1413g2="https://subversion.xray.aps.anl.gov/admin_pyGSAS/downloads/gsas2full-Latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh"
    15 curl "$g2" > /tmp/g2.sh; bash /tmp/g2.sh
     14curl "$g2" > /tmp/g2.sh; bash /tmp/g2.sh -b -p ~/g2full
    1615}}}

    19 
    20 
    21 Note that this will fail if your network requires a proxy to access
    22 the internet. In that case you can download the file with a browser and run it [#BrowserDownload using steps listed below.] Note that you will need to know the proxy information in order to get GSAS-II to properly update. Should the `subversion.xray.aps.anl.gov` server fail, a backup copy (perhaps older) can be found here: https://anl.app.box.com/v/GSASIIdistributions. Download and follow [#BrowserDownload using steps below.]
    23 If you want to install GSAS-II onto a computer that does not have an internet connection (or has a slow or expensive connection, subsequent downloads will be small), use those steps and then move the downloaded file on a USB stick, etc.

     18A few notes on this step.
     19
     20  * By using the `-b` option in the command above, you are agreeing to the Python and GSAS-II license [#AnacondaLicense shown below]; the text of the [#G2license GSAS-II license is also below].
     21  * The `-p` option specifies where GSAS-II is installed. Note that `-p ~/g2full` installs GSAS-II into directory `g2full` in your home folder. Change `~/g2full` if desired.
     22  * The `curl` command will likely fail if your network requires a proxy to access the internet. In that case you can download file https://subversion.xray.aps.anl.gov/admin_pyGSAS/downloads/gsas2full-Latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh by clicking on it here in your browser and run it [#BrowserDownload using steps listed below.] Note though that you will need to know the proxy settings in order to get GSAS-II to properly update, see ProxyInfo for more.
     23  * If you want to install GSAS-II onto a computer that does not have an internet connection (or has a slow or expensive connection), download file https://subversion.xray.aps.anl.gov/admin_pyGSAS/downloads/gsas2full-Latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh on a computer with better access and move the downloaded file on a USB stick, etc to where you wish to install it. Note that the installation process will use the internet if access is available, but usually only very minor amounts of information will be transferred. Installation will complete properly even without network access, but a not quite up-to-date version of GSAS-II will be will installed.

    85  4. Enter a location for where the files should be installed, if the default is not what you prefer. The default will usually be OK, in which case you can simply press enter. Installation has not been tested where paths contain spaces or special characters, so it is a good idea to install GSAS-II in an alternate location if the default has spaces or Unicode characters. Note that GSAS-II cannot be moved once installed. If you need it to move it please reinstall and delete the old copy.
    86 
    87   Make a note of where you have installed GSAS-II; this will be needed if you have problems with the software.

    113   If error or warning messages are seen, it is suggested that you save a screen image or use cut and paste to save the text in the window to a file. The most common [#InstallError error message is discussed below].
    114 
    115  6. It is recommended that you type "no" for the question about initializing gsas2full using conda init as it is not needed to run GSAS-II. If you say "yes" or use the default, then the version of Python installed by GSAS-II becomes the default version, which usually will not cause problems either.
