Installation of LSD for MacOS X

Last modified : April, 26th 2022.

The iLSD-3.5.2.tar.gz archive file contains the executable files that are needed to run LSD.

Once the archive file has been unzipped, launch the Termainal Application. It will open a command window (also named "shell"). Double-click on the hard disk icon, then on Applications, Utilities and Terminal.

If the archive file was unzipped in the Documents folder, a iLSD-3.5.2 folder has been created. The "cd Documents/iLSD-3.5.2" shell command changes the current directory and provides access to LSD commands.

In order to use LSD, please read the manual.

Postscript(R) molecule drawings are viewed by a double-click on their icon.

Solution drawing improvement can be done with m_edit but requires Tcl/Tk to be installed, unless already installed.
The m_edit script works withe 8.5 version of Tcl/Tk, and if the Wish program is localted in /Applications/Utilities/Wish 8.5.app/Contents/MacOS.
If not, the m_edit script may easily be modified.
