Unfortunately, this version of Uru is PC-only by default.<\/p>\n<p>However, it&#8217;s very easy to set it up to run on a Mac! Here&#8217;s how to do it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Download and install <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macports.org\/install.php\">MacPorts<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Download and install <a href=\"http:\/\/developer.apple.com\/technologies\/xcode.html\">Xcode<\/a>. This will take a very long time to download, unfortunately. It&#8217;s also an optional install on the CD that came with your Mac. If you don&#8217;t mind having a slightly out-of-date version (which shouldn&#8217;t matter for this), you can insert that CD and find the Xcode installer on there instead of downloading it.<\/li>\n<li>Reboot. (Might not be necessary, but I&#8217;d always recommend it)<\/li>\n<li>Go to Applications>Utilities in Finder, and launch Terminal.app.<\/li>\n<li>Type in the following:<code>sudo port install mystonline-cider<\/code><\/li>\n<li>It will ask for your password, type in the same password you use to log in to your computer.<\/li>\n<li>When it&#8217;s all done downloading\/installing, you can find Uru in \/Applications\/MacPorts\/Myst Online (Cider).app<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And that&#8217;s all it takes! Keep in mind that this is the &#8220;bare-bones&#8221; installer, so it&#8217;s going to download all of the meat of the game (the ages, sound effects, everything) the first time you start it up. That means it will most likely take a <em>very<\/em> long time to get past the loading section. It will eventually get there, though, so don&#8217;t worry that it&#8217;s crashed.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t take any credit for discovering this method, I got it from &#8220;rainbow&#8221; on the <a href=\"http:\/\/mystonline.com\/forums\/viewtopic.php?p=315072\">Myst Online forums<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>See you in the cavern!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most popular posts on my site is How to run Uru:CC on a Mac.
