1 Introduction

This Installation Guide provides a quick-reference to installing Fetch3 onto Mac OS X. Since the actual

setup and configuration of Fetch3 is virtually identical to that of the Windows version, this guide will

only be covering a brief description of the installation steps that differ slightly to the Windows

installation process.

1.1 Getting Started

Copy the Fetch_OSX_3_2_11_Installer.dmg onto the Mac to a suitable location from where it can be

opened.

Double-Click on the .dmg file icon to “mount” (open) it – inside you will find the Fetch Installer app.

Double-click on the Fetch Install.app icon to launch the installer. It will ask you for the Administrator

Password (or type in your own password if you are a Sudo user).

Start the installation process and follow the instructions.

5

Select the installation folder – it defaults to /Applications/Fetch where it really should be going.

The Installer should then start extracting and installing files.

Once the installer has finished processing all of the files, it will launch the Fetch Portal.

Here is where the Fetch Setup Wizard is launched on first-time install/run.

7

Simply follow the instructions and configure the Fetch Account, Lab(s), Scheduler and Storage.

Select Lab/Practice – at least one must be selected.

Setup the Scheduler.

Specify Internet Connection details (if required).

Setup all File/Directory settings – going with the defaults should be ok, but the “uploads” and

“downloads” folder. Please note that Fetch 3.2.11 and prior require the name of the “uploads” folder to

be called “uploads”, otherwise the automatic-upload triggering system will not work (if selected).

At this point, the Portal will want to start the Fetch Daemon and run it as a service in the background –

this will require the Administrator (or sudo) password.

Reset Password at the end.

Fetch Portal will launch into normal operations mode. Note that when the auto-resume task finishes

after 10-minutes, a pop-up window will appear indicating so and will require OK to be clicked. You do

not need to close that window – Fetch will keep operating as normal in the background.
