-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Saleem,
the file you download from Wolfgang Kabsch's page is a gzipped tar-Archive. You can look into its content with the command tar tfz XDS-OSX10.5.8_Darwin9.8.0.tar.gz This tells you that upon extraction (see below) you will have a subdirectory XDS-OSX10.5.8_Darwin9.8.0 I recommend you open a terminal, change into the directory /usr/local and copy the archive there. Then you can extract the archive with tar xfz XDS-OSX10.5.8_Darwin9.8.0.tar.gz Once this is done, you have to make sure the directory is part of your PATH variable so that you can run xds. This is best ensured by editing the file ~/.bashrc and append the line export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/XDS-OSX10.5.8_Darwin9.8.0 The next time you open a terminal, the xds-binaries should be found, i.e. if you type 'xds_par' you are ready to go.
