Installation

To install NovaMind, firstly download the NovaMind application from the download section of the NovaMind web site.

Wait until the download is complete. If your web browser and system are properly configured, the downloaded disk image will automatically mount and you will see the NovaMind icon.

If the disk image is not automatically opened when your download completes, follow these steps:

1.	Find the file you just downloaded. It will usually be saved to your desktop, with a name like NovaMindPro432.dmg

2.	Double-click this icon to open it in Mac OS X's Disk Copy application, which will mount it as a virtual disk and open a new window with the disk's contents.

A Finder window will appear containing an icon of the NovaMind application — simply drag this icon to your "Applications" folder (or whatever other folder or disk you'd like to store it in) to install. A quick way to open your Applications folder in the Finder is to press +Option+A.

Once NovaMind is installed, you can safely "eject" the virtual disk it came on (and dispose of the .dmg file you downloaded).

Double-click the NovaMind icon in its new location to begin using it, or drag it to your Dock for easy access. You will be able to use NovaMind in Demo mode for 30 days, until you buy your license.
