Running TNT

[Rebecca]

Hi,

I would like to use TNT for the first time and am having some trouble
getting started. I downloaded the 64 bit version for Mac and I can't
figure out which file is the binary. I suspect it is the one called
"tnt.command", but when I try to run this in a terminal window (./
tnt.command), I get a permission error. Can somebody please point out
what I am missing?

Thanks,

Rebecca

Hi Rebecca,
This might helo you, it is a previous mail about Mac installation,


When the installation on your Mac fails, you can always create the
password file yourself:

1)      open a command shell
2)      go to your home directory (“cd $HOME<enter>”)
3)      create password file:
       echo nomaspagomias > .passwordfile.tnt<enter>

and TNT should now be ready to run. If it doesn’t run, make sure that
no password file (.passwordfile.tnt) is left over in the directory
where you run TNT; if it is, remove it (the only password file that
should be left on the system is the one in your home directory).

Best wishes
Santiago

Hi Santiago,

Thank you for the advice. I tried doing what you suggested and still
had trouble (even when I deleted the password file and TNT folder and
disk image and tried downloading again). In the end, I tried the
older PPC Mac version and got it running right away. So, I'm still
not sure what was wrong with the other version, but I'm happy as long
as I can start building trees!

Santiago,
Rebecca answered your email and said that she wasn't able to get
the following to work--I can't get it to work either!

I entered this data in terminal:
200-....:~ scott$ cd $HOME <enter>
200-....:~ scott$ echo nomaspagomias > .passwordfile.tnt <enter>

but nothing happened that I could see. A search of the hard drive did
not turn up any file called .passwordfile.tnt

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, Scott
