1.3. Prerequisites

Terminology

Commands you have to type or filenames are wrapped in code-tags. You can either copy and paste most of the shell commands into your Terminal window or just type yourself. If I use variables which you can or should change as you like, I write them like <variable> .

Required software packages

Mac OS X 10.2 or 10.3I tested this examples with OS X 10.2.6 to 10.3.3. Apple Developer Tools (aka Xcode) recommend.http://www.apple.com/macosx/

MySQL 4If you're not familiar with MySQL or Unix, I recommend the official binary package (the .dmg-file). Also don't forget read the »ReadMe.txt« on the disk image!http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-4.0.html

PHP 4The original Apple PHP-Module has no GD-support so I recommend using the feature-rich version provided by Marc Liyanage. Now available as installer.http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/

ImageMagick 5You can either use Fink to install ImageMagick or the binaries from the ImageMagick Website . I use the the binary package provided by Marc Liyanage here because it's the easiest way.http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/#imagemagick

TYPO3 3.6If you're a TYPO3 newbie I recommend one of the ready-to-go packages, either the QuickStart-Site, the Test- or the Dummysite. I use the Quickstart-Site here.http://typo3.org/1274.0.html

Optional software packages

phpMyAdminphpMyAdmin is an useful web front-end to MySQL and can be used to maintain your MySQL installation and databases. It's installed when you use the TYPO3 Installer package for OS X.http://www.phpmyadmin.net

CocoaMySQLCocoaMySQL is - like phpMyAdmin - another useful front-end to MySQL but runs native on Mac OS X.http://cocoamysql.sourceforge.net/

FinkThe Fink project wants to bring Unix open source software to Darwin and Mac OS X.http://fink.sourceforge.net/

FinkCommanderFinkCommander is a graphical front-end to fink.http://finkcommander.sourceforge.net/
