#14 Mac: Making Installation Simpler

[Chuck]

Leopard seems to install Zekr in a breeze, but Tiger involves opening Terminal. ANY installation involving a person to do more than just a few clicks and accepting a license is unacceptable, especially in the Mac World. I was thinking of turning Zekr into a full blown installer, which would automatically install the additional stuff by running whatever installers run or by running an AppleScript or SH script thats already written by developers so all that users have to do is click on the file to activate it. There could be two versions- one for Leopard (the one right now), and one for Tiger and before.

Also, tar.gz is not the universal file format for applications on Mac. It should be compressed in DMG format.

What do you guys think of these ideas?
