Re: [Gmat-users] Attempting to run GMAT-R2016a-Beta.app on Mac Pro under Mac OS X 10.12.1

[Samuel D. <sd...@sp...>]

Wendy,

I downloaded GMAT-R2016a_Beta.app after the announcement of GMAT-2016a 
was posted. The GMAT-2016a was left intact in my home directory after 
unzipping the download. It appears that GMAT-2016a_Beta is somehow 
copying itself to a subdirectory under /private.

Please advise.

Sam Dupree.
