Mac OS X 10.3.
Java 1.4 or newer. Normally it is already installed, otherwise you can get it via Software Update from the Apple menu.
Perform the following steps to install Jomic:
Download
Jomic-x.y.z.dmg, where x, y, and z indicate the version
number.
Extract the archive and mount the volume contained in it (unless it already happened automatically after the download).
Copy the Jomic application to wherever you like, for example
~/Applications.
To start Jomic from the Finder, simply double-click it in the Finder, or drop a comic on the icon.
To start Jomic in the terminal, use the open command as usual, for example: open -a ~/Applications/Jomic stuff/comics/example.cbz. If you are unfamiliar with open, type man open to learn more about it.
If you want to use all options Jomic's command line interface supports, things take
some effort. The
open command does not allow to pass options to the application. To
work around this, the Jomic application bundle includes a little
Python script to launch it from the
command line using the Java ressources of the application bundle. As the script is located
inside the bundle, its location depends on the place where Jomic is installed. Assuming
Jomic is located in
~/Applications/Jomic.app, you can run the script using for example:
python ~/Applications/Jomic.app/Contents/Resources/jomic.py
--continue.
Although you can also use the installer, the single JAR or Web Start to start Jomic under Mac OS X, there is not much point to it. They do not support many convenient features such as dragging and dropping comics on the icon, or assigning icons to CBZ and CBR files. Furthermore, you have to mess with installing unrar.
