The DCC Decoder Programmer

Installing SPROG II on Mac OS-X

Note: JMRI DecoderPro and therefore SPROG II are no longer supported on Mac Classic or MacOS earlier than 10.4.

Java Communications libraries

First time Install

If you're installing JMRI 2.12 from this distribution, and have never installed JMRI on this computer:
You shouldn't have to do anything special. Just skip to the next section below, "Install JMRI DecoderPro".

With previous SPROG or JMRI Installed

If you're installing JMRI 2.12 from this distribution, and you had installed communications libraries for an earlier version: You need to remove the communications library files that were installed earlier. To do this, locate and delete these files:

• /Library/Java/Extensions/RXTXcomm.jar
• /Library/Java/Extensions/comm.jar
• /Library/Java/Extensions/librxtxSerial.jnilib
  
  
• /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4/Home/lib/javax.comm.properties
  
  
• /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Home/lib/javax.comm.properties

Using Finder, the sequence is:

• * Click on the icon for your computer's hard disk
• * Click on the "Library" icon
• * Click on the "Java" icon
• * Click on the "Extensions" icon
• * If there's an RXTXcomm.jar, comm.jar, or librxtxSerial.jnilib file, drag it to the Trash.

and

• * Click on the icon for your computer's hard disk
• * Click on the "System" icon
• * Click on the "Library" icon
• * Click on the "Frameworks" icon
• * Click on the "JavaVM.framework" icon
• * Click on the "Versions" icon
• * Click on the "1.4" icon
• * Click on the "Home" icon
• * Click on the "lib" icon
• * If there's a javax.comm.properties file, drag it to the Trash.

then just repeat that last sequence with "CurrentJDK" in place of "1.4".

If one of those files or directories isn't present, just skip the step.

Install JMRI DecoderPro

SPROG II uses the JMRI DecoderPro software to run SPROG, program your decoders and manage all your decoder records.

To install, you just have to move the JMRI folder to where you want it on your computer. Just drag it onto the displayed "Applications" folder shortcut to put it into the default place with all other applications.
