Setting Up Your Environment

Once you have acquired MacCVS Pro customize it for your particular installation by performing the following:

  1. Copy your session file, which should be attached to the e-mail message containing your subscription information, to where you want it on your hard disk.
  2. Create a local ClubMacApp folder into which the MacApp sources will go. Start with a clean directory. You don't want to overwrite any of your existing copies of MacApp; you can merge your changes later.
  3. Start up MacCVS Pro by double-clicking on your session file.
  4. Open the session settings dialog by selecting the "Edit:Session Settings..." menu item (command-T).
  5. Select "Checkout and Update Options" in the popup at the top of the dialog (if it is not already selected).
  6. Press the "Set" button within "Local Tree Directory" and then navigate to and choose the local ClubMacApp folder that you created.
  7. Close the settings dialog by pressing "OK".
