 === Step 1: ===
 
-Download **one** of the following (which have different versions of Python & packages, but will all provide the latest version of GSAS-II): 
+Download this file:
 
+* https://subversion.xray.aps.anl.gov/admin_pyGSAS/downloads/gsas2full-Latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh (provides Python 3.7, all required Python packages and a recent version of GSAS-II which will be updated via the internet; can be installed on computers without an internet connection, but without that update.)
 
-* https://subversion.xray.aps.anl.gov/admin_pyGSAS/downloads/g2conda-1.0.1-MacOSX-x86_64.sh
-   * g2conda-1.0.1-MacOSX-x86_64.sh has contains the latest intercompatible Python packages, including Python 3.7, wxPython 4.0.3, !NumPy 1.51.1, !SciPy 1.1.0, matplotlib 2.2.3,... Since the code has not been fully tested with this environment, there is some chance for finding compatibility bugs we have not yet seen (but will certainly fix if reported.) 
+These links offer an older distributions that have worked for many people, if you have trouble with the previous (but please do report problems). Note that these installers require an internet connection: 
 
-* https://subversion.xray.aps.anl.gov/admin_pyGSAS/downloads/g2conda-py27-1.0.2-MacOSX-x86_64.sh
-   * g2conda-py27-1.0.2-MacOSX-x86_64.sh has mostly the same packages as the above, but contains Python 2.7.x and an older version of wxPython (3.0.0). This may be a bit more safe with regards to bugs, but we are now recommending Python 3.x rather than this dist. 
-
-or this older installation file (there have been reports that the files above do not operate properly on 10.14.x, Mojave, which is too new for us to test) 
- * Download file ```g2conda-0.1.2-MacOSX-x86_64.sh``` from this URL https://anl.box.com/v/GSASII4mac12 
-   * as this is older, its use is not recommended unless you have problems with the previous installers. This contains an older version of bootstrap.py, which does not handle proxies perfectly. (In case of problems, after the bootstrap.py fails, use  ​​https://subversion.xray.aps.anl.gov/trac/pyGSAS/browser/install/bootstrap.py?format=txt to download an update, replace the bootstrap.py file in the GSASII subdirectory and run it in the recently-installed python, [https://subversion.xray.aps.anl.gov/trac/pyGSAS/wiki/InstallMac#OverviewforManualInstallation see here].)
+* https://subversion.xray.aps.anl.gov/admin_pyGSAS/downloads/g2conda-1.0.1-MacOSX-x86_64.sh (Python 3.7, wxPython 4.0.3, !NumPy 1.51.1, !SciPy 1.1.0, matplotlib 2.2.3,...)
+* https://subversion.xray.aps.anl.gov/admin_pyGSAS/downloads/g2conda-py27-1.0.2-MacOSX-x86_64.sh (Python 2.7.x, wxPython 3.0.0...) 
+* ```g2conda-0.1.2-MacOSX-x86_64.sh``` from this URL https://anl.box.com/v/GSASII4mac12 (quite old, not recommended)

 Execute this file. 
 This should be done by typing the command 
-   ```bash <path>/g2conda-*-MacOSX-x86_64.sh```
+   ```bash <path>/gsas2full-Latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh```
 in a terminal window. One easy way to to this is to open a terminal (!Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) type "```bash ```" (leaving a space), then use finder to drag the downloaded file to the terminal window. Then press Enter to run the command.

 This script requests the name of a proxy server. Most people will use the default and press return. However, some sites block web traffic unless it is passed through a particular computer. If needed, enter that computer name or IP address here (e.g. proxyout.lanl.gov); you will be then be requested to also supply a port number, which defaults to 8080.
