Caché Installation Guide - InterSystems Documentation

Installing Caché on Mac
5.1.2 Supported Platforms and Web Servers
The latest version of Caché is supported on the Apple Mac OS X operating system on Intel. For Mac
OS X, the Caché Server Pages (CSP) technology is supported on the Apache Web server. See the
Supported Platforms document for specific supported versions.
If using CSP, you must install the Web server before installing Caché for the installation to configure
the Web server. Its support on each operating system is dependent on the operating system vendor and
is subject to change. See the Web Server Configuration section of the “CSP Configuration” chapter
of the Using Caché Server Pages guide for more information.
5.2 Caché Installation
In most cases, the Caché installation is much like installing other software products on the Mac operating
system and does not require an archive file. For cases where you are installing multiple instances
of Caché on one machine or you require custom install options, see the Caché UNIX-based Installation
section for detailed instructions. Otherwise, the procedure is straightforward:
1. Obtain the Caché disk image file (with a .dmg extension) from InterSystems.
2. If the source is on a DVD, it automatically mounts and displays a window containing the image
file, Cache_macosx_2008.2.0.500.0.dmg, for example. Double-click the file to open a Finder
window.
3. The new window displays two files: Cache.mpkg and a Packages directory. Double-click
Cache.mpkg to start the installation.
4. The Welcome to Caché Installer window displays. The six steps involved in a Caché installation
appear on the left-hand side of the window:
