[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1698288, member: 110816"] The Homebrew method is fine, but requires installing Homebrew which might be overkill to just install this one app, so these are the steps you need to do to "install" this app.. Once you've downloaded the file from the website, it will be call [B]jhead.txt[/B] in your [B]Download[/B] folder, then open up the Terminal by hitting CMD+space and enter Terminal in there. In the terminal, follow the commands below.. [CODE] $ cd ~/Downloads $ mv jhead.txt jhead $ chmod a+x jhead $ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin $ sudo mv jhead /usr/local/bin [/CODE] The first [B]sudo[/B] command will prompt you for your password, enter it the folder is created. The next command will copy the file to that destination. This will take care of putting the file in the "usual" place, however the path is likely not part of your usual path, so follow with the rest here.. [CODE] $ echo $PATH [/CODE] Take a look at the path here which will show all the directories, if [B]/usr/local/bin[/B] is already in the path, you are all set, if not, follow these next steps. [CODE] $ vi ~/.profile [/CODE] Find the entry marked [B]export PATH[/B] and then hit 'i' to insert the path [B]/usr/local/bin[/B] there and then hit ESC to go back to view mode. Now hit the key sequence ":wq" to write and quit from the editor. Now close the Terminal and re-open it and then do the "echo $PATH" command above to see if the path showed up properly. Now you should be able to run [B]jhead[/B] and use the program. [/QUOTE]
