Re: Installing Plone v3.2 on Mac OS X 10.5

Hi mosx86,

We've got two installer solutions for OS X:

1) The specialized OS X installer. This is a binary installer with a
standard Mac GUI installer. X-Code is not required. It lets you choose
target location, single-instance or ZEO, and production or development.

2) The Unified Installer. This is a source install kit, and you must
pre-install the X-Code tools on OS X. Basically, it's a batch of sources and
an install script. It lets you choose target location, single-instance or
ZEO, and production or development. If you wish, you may use a system Python
2.4 (I'd suggest using macports for that) and it will automatically use
virtualenv to protect it.

Both of these, and every other installer we ship, are buildout-based. All
deliver a buildout-equipped installation.

I'm not saying that you need to use them. I'm just suggesting that if you're
writing a document on OS X installation, you might want to try one or both
installers first to get a baseline.
