If you are installing the ELO Java Client on Mac OS X, you need to consider the following information.

Java Runtime Environment

The ELO Java Client for Mac OS X includes a Java Runtime Environment package. This means you don't need to install the Java Runtime Environment separately.

Installation

The installation files are provided as a disk image file (DMG). If you downloaded the installation package from the ELO SupportWeb, the DMG file comes in a ZIP file. If you have already copied the InstallELOClient DMG file to your Mac, continue reading from the Start installation section.

ZIP file

1. Download the latest version of the ZIP file for Mac OS X.

2. Unzip the ZIP file to your Mac.

The InstallELOClient DMG file is now available.

Start installation

You can now proceed with the installation.

1. Double-click to open the DMG file.

The DMG file is executed. The InstallELOClient finder window appears.

2. Drag the ELOClient folder to the Applications folder.

Information: A confirmation dialog appears if there is an update. Click Replace to confirm that you want to overwrite existing files.

Installation starts. When installation is completed, the ELOClient folder is located in the Program files directory.

Start the ELO Java Client

1. Open the ELOClient folder.

2. Double-click ELOClient.app to start the ELO Java Client.

When you run the client for the first time, you will be asked to enter the ELO Indexserver URL. If you have already entered an ELO Indexserver, the logon dialog box appears immediately.

Enter Indexserver URL

The ELO Java Client requires an Indexserver connection to access a repository.

1. Enter the name of the repository profile and the URL of the ELO Indexserver.

Example

http://[server name]:[port]/ix-[repository name]/ix

Information: Determine the ELO Indexserver URL with the help of the ELO Application Server Manager. Open the ELO Application Server Manager in your browser. Select the Indexserver to be used from the list of applications. You will find the associated repository name on the left.

You can also use HTTPS if the server is configured accordingly.

Logging

If you want to use parameters when you start the ELO Java Client, you can do this via the terminal.

1. Execute the following command to see which parameters you can use:

/Applications/ELOClient/ELOClient.app/Contents/MacOS/ELOClient -h

2. To run the ELO Java Client with the desired parameters, adjust the command as required.

Example

/Applications/ELOClient/ELOClient.app/Contents/MacOS/ELOClient -logging DEBUG
