Mac is BSD unix under the hood with a cool gui.

It's saying there's no images directory under your working directory. I'll try to look into this later today or tonight but I'm getting back to a recalcitrant hpc cluster right now.

I tried that and this is what I got:

perl /Applications/xastir/scripts/toporama50k.pl
find: ./images: No such file or directory
find: ./images: No such file or directory
Writing .geo files

Done.

Try 'perl toporama50k.pl'. That's a perl script. And, linux doesn't employ a 'run' command. However, in looking at a local copy of the script here, you can also try './toporama50k.pl' (without the "'" of course), and it should run.

We need to change the script run istructions a little bit to accommodate the folks unfamiliar with Linux/Unix. I see that we are assuming a few things we shouldn't in the explanation.

I located the map dir and the toporama.pl files, I read through the file and looked at the map files on Steve's website. In terminal I changed the directory, etc.....what is the proper command to 'Run' the scripts? I tried 'run /Applications/xastir/scripts/toporama50k.pl' but only got a -bash: run: command not found

Thanks,

How do I properly execute this command to download the Canada Topo Maps?

Look at the script.  They're in xastir/scripts/ before install.
Usually in the comments at the top of each script are instructions
for running them.

After install they're in /usr/local/lib/xastir/, but that might be a
different place on a Mac.

    toporama250k.pl
    toporama50k.pl

These require Perl5 or better to be installed/working on the box
too.
