Installation on macOS
To install to a location you have write permission to, double click the icon of the downloaded installer file.
Then walk through the following steps. (The exact order options are presented may differ to that described.)
- Read and accept the License agreement and click Next.
- Choose where you would like to install the application. If you are upgrading from an earlier version, please refer to General information about installing and upgrading Workbenches for information about installing to an existing or different directory. Click on Next.
- Specify other options associated with the installation such as whether a desktop icon should be created, whether the software should open clc:// URLs. whether .clc files should be associated with the software and whether it should be added to the dock. Click on Next.
- Wait for the installation process to complete, choose whether you would like to launch CLC Main Workbench right away, and click on Finish.
On Apple Silicon Macs without Rosetta present on the system, the option of installing it is offered during the installation process. Rosetta enables Intel-based features to run on Apple Silicon Macs. While not needed for the majority of tools, some require it, for example De Novo Assembly, BLAST, Sample Reads and tools for analyzing small RNA.
When the installation is complete, the program can be launched from the dock, if present there, or by clicking on the desktop shortcut if you chose to create one. The software can also be launched from within the installation folder.
