Just "inherited" a 2007 iMac and loaded Yosemite (OS X 10.10.1)
First thing I loaded LO 4.4.0.2, and then 4.3.6.2 and the current (2015-01-21) 4.5.0 master. Steps couldn't be simpler. In fact parallel install is done almost the same as with the Windows .msi packages Put which ever of the installs into /Applications just like any package install. Drag and drop there once the .dmg is downloaded and mounted. Launch by double clicking the folder in /Applications. For the additional installs, they could go into /Applications as well just with different names. But they can go anywhere. For example onto user's Desktop, Documents, Downloads etc... just mount the downloaded .dmg package and drag the LibreOffice or LibreOfficeDev .app directory object to where you want it to reside. It does not need to go into /Applications. Then use Spotlight to find the bootstraprc file and edit it in TextEdit. Just as with Windows or Linux builds, edit the "UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/LibreOffice/4 "to be "UserInstallation=$ORIGIN/../Data/settings" The $ORIGIN variable is parsed internally by LibreOffice and then creates the entire user profile within the app package, in the example "Data/settings" but the directory names for the user profile can actually be anything you like. They are fully structured profiles and are portable. When ready to launch the build, open the .app folder with Finder and locate the soffice executable and Control Open it. You can create an app launcher for it if you don't want to dig down into the folder every time. Easy as pie... I had all three flavors running simultaneously and could do side-by-side comparisons of the UI. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Installing-2-versions-of-LO-on-Mac-OS-X-10-10-1-Yosemite-tp4136563p4136999.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
