Prerequisites

• The instructions below are pretty Mac-o-philic, but should work for most other Unices.
• There are usually several ways to accomplish the steps required below. Your mileage may vary. Google is your friend for problems and troubleshooting. Unless you are a wizard or possess other superpowers, you would be wise not to stray from these instructions any more than necessary, as if you do it will be more of a challenge to winch you out of the weeds if something goes wrong.
• VPN access:  install Cisco client, and ensure you have CalNet credentials, see  http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/Help/vpn_2009_mac.html
• XCode "Command Line Tools" installed for your OS.  This is a hassle -- you have to sign up to be an Apple developer, download at least a couple hundred MBs of code. Etc. Try starting at: https://developer.apple.com/downloads/.  (It's possible that it might be more easily downloaded via the App Store; one can try https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12, or search Google for "xcode app store" -  Aron) You can install the entire XCode tool set, but it is huge and not necessary for what we are doing.  If you have a recent version of the Mac OS X (e.g. Mavericks), you will normally be prompted if you attempt to use a Tool from the set but it is not installed.  This is an easy way to get the CTL code in this particular case.
• Git:  you may already have this if after installing the XCode CLT above, but if not – git  (v1.9 or higher, unless you are running Lion, in which case you may have to install v1.8.4.2) installed and working,  see http://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/

• Several of the webapps expect to query the CSpace postgres database directly. If your project contains such webapps, you'll need one (or alas both) of the Python postgres bindings (pygresql or psycopg2).  These in turn will only install if you have the necessary client code (or Postgres itself) install on the target system.  Recent versions of the Mac OS (10.8.x Mountain Lion and beyond?) come with Postgres installed and you need only ensure that the installers can find it.  We have found that inserting the following line in ~/.profile works (NB: you'll need to verify the version of Postgres ("9.x") that is installed.)

  Code Block
  cat ~/.profile # Postgres PATH="/Library/PostgreSQL/9.1/bin:${PATH}" # need to reload environment...logout and login or source ~/.profile

• Pip: there are lots of ways to install Python packages, and you'll probably have to install a few. So get pip working, try, e.g. "sudo easy_install pip" on your Mac...
• Get PyCharm Professional (http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/) : CollectionSpace has a license key, so don't worry about that: you can start up the 30-day trial version and add the key later.  (The Community version does not support Django)  If you have only Java 7 (and not also Java 6) available on your OS X system, you might need to follow these instructions (not Maverick-specific; they also apply to Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion): http://www.sergiolopes.eu/2013/12/fix-eclipse-ide-pycharm-not-loading-on-osx-mavericks/
