[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1447923, member: 110816"] Where did you download the file? Into your Downloads folder? If so, open the Terminal and enter [CODE] cd ~/Downloads [/CODE] Then you can find the program with [CODE] ls -l wi-free* [/CODE] This should show the [B]wi-free-macosx[/B] file. Then you follow the [URL="http://www.wi-free.com/troubleshooting/terminal.html"]instructions[/URL] from wi-free to run the program. Note that you are not installing the program, just executing it from where you downloaded it. You will need to keep the terminal window open/active for this program to run. So once you've gotten it running, you can minimize the terminal window and go about your business. [/QUOTE]
