The most reliable way to install relax on your system is to use the official Python releases. The steps are:

# * '''Python:''' First download the latest 2.7 version from the [http://www.python.org/download/ Official Python website].

** This should be the DMG file labelled as '''Python 2.7.x Mac OS X 64-bit/32-bit x86-64/i386 Installer (for Mac OS X 10.6 and later)'''.

** Open the DMG file, double click on the '''Python.mpkg''' file, and follow the instructions.

** The Python binary should now be located at '''/usr/local/bin/python'''. This is actually a symbolic link pointing to '''/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python'''.

# * '''wxPython:''' Download the wxPython Development 2.9 DMG file from the [http://wxpython.org/download.php#unstable official wxPython website].

** The link should be called '''wxPython2.9-osx-cocoa-py2.7'''.

** Open the DMG file, double click on the '''wxPython2.9-osx-cocoa-py2.7.pkg''' file, and follow the instructions.

# * '''Numpy:''' Download the latest Numpy DMG file from the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/ sourceforge download site].

** This should be the DMG file '''numpy-1.x.x-py2.7-python.org-macosx10.3.dmg'''.

** Open the DMG file, double click on the '''numpy-1.x.x-py2.7.mpkg''' file, and follow the instructions.

# * '''Scipy:''' Download the latest Scipy DMG file from the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/scipy/files/scipy/ sourceforge download site].

** This should be the DMG file '''scipy-0.xx.x-py2.7-python.org-macosx10.3.dmg'''.

** Open the DMG file, double click on the '''scipy-0.xx.x-py2.7.mpkg''' file or equivalent, and follow the instructions.

# * '''Mpi4py:''' This is for running on multi-processor machines, for the analyses in relax which support it. Download the file from the [https://code.google.com/p/mpi4py/downloads/list mpi4py download site].

** Note, this will require an up to date version of XCode installed on your system, as the code will be compiled.

** Download the file labelled as '''mpi4py-1.x.x.tar.gz'''.

$ sudo /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python setup.py install

</source>

# * '''SCons:''' This is required to build the relax C modules. Download the file form the [http://www.scons.org/download.php SCons download site].

** Download the file called '''scons-2.x.x.tar.gz'''.

** Open this through the Finder to unpackage the archive into the '''~/Downloads/scons-2.x.x/''' directory.
