= Mac: Detailed Quick Installation =
Apple's Mac operating system comes with Python already installed as a part of the core system software making running a !MoinMoin wiki very easy.

== Download MoinMoin ==

 1. Download the latest Moin from MoinMoin:MoinMoinDownload page.
 1. Double-click to expand.

== Starting Moin for the first time ==
By default, python scripts (.py) will open in !TextEdit.app. For convenience, we'll want to associate .py files to open in Terminal.app so that we can simply double-click the {{{wikiserver.py}}} file to run Moin.

 1. Right-click (control-click) on the {{{wikiserver.py}}} file.
 1. From the contextual-menu,
  i. Select "Open with..." > "Other...";
  i. From the file dialog, select "All Applications", check "Always Open With", then navigate to Terminal.app (located in //Applications/Utilites/). <<BR>> (The "Always open with" sets Terminal.app as the default application so in future you can double-click the {{{wikiserver.py}}} file).

== Daily Use ==
 i. Double-click on the wikiserver.py file and Terminal.app will launch.
 i. Point your browser at http://localhost:8080
 1. To quit the wiki, simply close the terminal window.
