These icons correspond to the NetWare Tools utilities listed in Table 4:

Preparing for the Installation

To install the NetWare for Macintosh client software, you use a program called the Installer. The Installer must be run from the Macintosh workstation on which you are installing the software, but it does not necessarily have to reside on that workstation.

IMPORTANT: The NetWare for Macintosh client software is available on a variety of media. If you are installing the software from CD-ROM or other media, please see the README file accompanying that software before proceeding with the installation. You can also consult the NetWare for Macintosh Installation and Maintenance manual for NetWare for Macintosh 4.0. After you have completed the media-specific steps, return here for instructions on using the Installer program from the Macintosh on which you are installing the software.

Before you begin the installation, make sure that no other applications are running on the local Macintosh. But if you forget to unload the applications, don't worry; the Installer program can unload them for you. If you have not unloaded all running applications before launching the Installer, this window opens when you try to install the software:

You then have the option to click the Continue button to quit the active applications and continue the installation, or click the Cancel button to stop the installation while you manually unload the active applications.

The Admin Installation

Unless you use the Custom installation option (), the Admin installation copies all of the client software, including the NetWare Tools application, to the local Macintosh disk. Because the NWM Admin Install Script resides at the same level as the Installer program, this is the default installation if you double-click the Installer icon.

You can perform the Admin Installation by double-clicking the Installer program, double-clicking the NWM Admin Install Script, or if the Macintosh is running System 7.x, by dragging and dropping the NWM Admin Install Script on top of the Installer.

The User Installation

Unless you use the Custom installation option (), the User installation copies all of the client software except the NetWare Tools application to the local Macintosh disk. The NWM User Install Script is provided to enable you to restrict access to the NetWare Tools application while still allowing users to install their own client software.

You can perform the User installation by opening the folder named User Install Script and double-clicking the file named NWM User Install Script, or if the Macintosh is running System 7.x, by dragging and dropping the NWM User Install Script on top of the Installer program.

HINT: You can make an installation folder or diskette that provides only the User installation by moving the NWM User Install Script to the same level as the Installer program and removing the NWM Admin Install Script from that location.

Performing the Installation

You carry out the same procedure whether you are installing the client software for the first time or upgrading existing software.

NOTE: If you are installing from CD-ROM or any media other than the NW for Macintosh Client diskette, skip Step 1. After you have completed the media-specific steps, return here and begin with Step 2.

Follow these steps:

Insert the NW for Macintosh Client diskette into the floppy drive of your Macintosh workstation, or open the NW for Macintosh Client folder on a mounted volume.

This window opens:
Double-click the Installer icon.

See The Admin Installation for other ways you can start the Installer, and The User Installation for information about using different installation scripts.

When you double-click the Installer to perform the default Admin installation, the Easy Install window in Figure 4 opens.

Choose the disk on which you want to install the files.

By default, the Installer program writes the client software to the root of the Macintosh startup disk. To choose a different local drive, click the Switch Disk button. Remember that you cannot install the software on the drive that contains the Installer program or on a network drive.
Click either the Install button or the Customize button.

If you want to install all of the software listed, click the Install button (Step 4.a).

If you want to install only certain components of the client software, click the Customize button (Step 4.b).

HINT: If the workstation on which you are performing the installation will not be logging in to NetWare 4.0 servers, you may want to click the Customize button and elect not to install the Extension Mapper application.
1. Click the Install button.
  
  The Installer program begins copying the software to the location you specified. The program displays this window when the installation is complete:
  
  Click the Quit button to leave the Installer program.
2. Click the Customize button.
  
  The Customize window (Figure 5) lets you select only those software components you need to install.
