Hi. I'm new to the Mac and to DMXzone Extension Manager. I've downloaded the EM but seem to be having trouble installing it on my Mac. When I open EM download I get a pop up appear showing the EM and a downward arrow pointing to the "Applications" folder but no "Instal" or "Cancel" buttons etc. I can't see any obvious way of actually installing the EM can anyone advise please? I'm running El Capitan on Mac Book Pro and using DW CC2015.

I can login on dmxzone.com and instal the extensions but when I start Dreamweaver and follow the menu path Commands->DMXzone Extension Manager I receive a popup advising that I haven't yet installed the extension manager etc - which is the problem I've described above.

There's a disc icon on my desktop entitled "DMXzone Extension Manager 1.0.15". The only way I can run the EM is to double click that icon then click the EM icon in the previously mentioned popup which runs, logs me in and allows me to instal the extensions in DW CC 2015. I've never used a Mac before so still finding my way around - perhaps I'm misunderstanding what to expect but I was expecting the app to instal on the Mac in some way then I'd just run it from the "Applications" area like the other apps e.g. DW.

Sorry - I'm not sure how to post a screenshot of what I'm seeing so have tried to describe it.

Thanks for any help.

Hi there,

This is a very command way for installing apps on a mac. As the picture shows - you just have to drag the icon of the DMXzone Extension Manager to the Application icon next to it! That is the whole install!

After that the DMXzone Extension Manager is just in your Applications. and you can run it from there.

Note this is a Mac not a Windows computer so there is no need for complicated installs. Just drag & drop and you are done.

Once installed and started you can download and install any DMXzone extensions directly from DMXzone Extension Manager.

Greetings,
George

Hi George - thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my query and for solving my "problem". I guess I have a lot still to learn about the Mac. It's all installed now and working perfectly. Thank you also for a fantastic product in the extension manager.
