-Because OS X does things in weird ways, it's recommended to get XASTIR in pre-built form from [[http://www.nh6z.net/Amatuer_Radio_Station_NH6Z/Other_Peoples_Software.html|here]]. **Read the instructions before trying to install it; you'll save yourself a lot of heartache.** It will also require the current version of [[http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/|XQuartz]] in order to work. Note that this is presently untested though it is confirmed as at least installable and executable on OS X 10.8.3. The map data seems to be taking forfreakingever to download and install; YMMV. +Because OS X does things in weird ways, it's recommended to get XASTIR in pre-built form from {{http://www.nh6z.net/Amatuer_Radio_Station_NH6Z/Other_Peoples_Software.html|here}}. **Read the instructions before trying to install it; you'll save yourself a lot of heartache.** It will also require the current version of {{http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/|XQuartz}} in order to work.

-XASTIR is available in [[https://www.macports.org/|Macports]], but it's a slightly older version and doesn't build properly - at least, that's the case under XCode 4.6.1. Just get the binaries. +XASTIR is available in {{https://www.macports.org/|Macports}}, but it's a slightly older version and doesn't build properly - at least, that's the case under XCode 4.6.1.
