---+Install <nop>PlayOnMac and Power and Sample Size program on Macintosh

   * Download [[http://www.playonmac.com/en/][PlayOnMac]] (the file is <nop>PlayOnMac_4.2.6.dmg as of 19 Feb 2015)
   * Double click on the disk image file (<nop>PlayOnMac_4.2.6.dmg) just downloaded.  It is probably in the Downloads folder.  This will bring up the <nop>PlayOnMac installer.
   * Install <nop>PlayOnMac (i.e., drag <nop>PlayOnMac and Uninstall <nop>PlayOnMac icons to the Applications folder)
   * Close the installer
   * Download the [[http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/Main/PowerSampleSize][Power and Sample Size Program]] Windows installer (pssetup3.exe)
   * Run <nop>PlayOnMac that we just installed.  It is in the Applications folder.  You can search for it via the magnifying glass icon if necessary.  Once <nop>PlayOnMac is running do this:
      * Click on "Install a program"
      * Click on "Install a non-listed program"
      * Select "Install a program in a new virtual drive"
      * Enter “ps” as the name of the virtual drive
      * For “What would you like to do before installation?” leave all unchecked
      * Browse to where pssetup3.exe was downloaded (probably in the Downloads folder)
      * Select PS.exe as the file for shortcut
      * Don’t select another shortcut
   * Exit the <nop>PlayOnMac program

Once the PS program has been installed, a font needs to be copied to a location where it can be found.  First, download the font file by clicking [[%ATTACHURL%/symbol.ttf][symbol.ttf]].  Make sure this downloads the file into the Downloads folder.

Below are terminal commands that will copy the file just downloaded into the appropriate location.  The =cp= command assumes that all the <nop>PlayOnMac files are in their default locations and that all default choices were made when installing PS.

Open a terminal window and run these commands:
<verbatim>
> cd ~
> cp Downloads/symbol.ttf Library/PlayOnMac/wineprefix/ps/drive_c/windows/Fonts/
</verbatim>
