<h2>Scribus on Mac OS X</h2>
<h3>Hardware</h3>
<ul>
<li>Intel-based Mac</li>
<li>512 MB RAM in addition to system memory requirements – the more the better. 1–2 GB or more is strongly recommended for larger or more complex documents.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Before Installing Scribus</h3>
<ul>
<li>Install Ghostscript for Mac OS X – <a href="http://idisk.mac.com/yhonda-Public/ghostscript.dmg">Ghostscript 8.60+</a> or newer is recommended. This is important for EPS, PS, and PDF import and printing. You can also install this via <a href="http://www.macports.org/">MacPorts</a> or <a href="http://www.finkproject.org/">Fink</a>. The result will be the same.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Installing</h3>
<ul>
<li>Simply <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=125235&package_id=201484">download</a> the Mac OS X DMG or *.pkg file from Sourceforge, open it and drag the Scribus icon to the location of your choice. The DMG Finder window offers the default system Application directory. From there you may click on the icon and run Scribus.</li>
<li>The first launch of Scribus, or when a new user launches Scribus, can be much longer than usual. This is because Scribus is creating a cache file of your fonts. Later starts will be much quicker.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Additional Software</h3>
<ul>
<li>Scribus 1.4 provides a new type of frame, called <a href="WwRenderframes.html">Render Frame</a>. It enables the use of other programs to render their outpout in a Scribus document. To take full advantage of this feature, you need to install these programs. By default, Scribus is pre-configured to use <a href="http://www.tug.org/mactex/">LaTeX</a>, <a href="http://lilypond.org/web/install/">Lilypond</a>, <a href="http://www.povray.org/ftp/pub/povray/Official/Macintosh/povpmac.sit">POV-Ray</a>, <a href="http://www.pixelglow.com/graphviz/">Graphviz</a>, and <a href="http://lee-phillips.org/info/Macintosh/gnuplot.html">Gnuplot</a>.
