Dit leerprogramma zal u elke stap van de manier door het installeren van programma's Linux in OS X - gebruikend Fink en FinkCommander nemen.
Iets zou ik voorzijde omhoog moeten vermelden - tijdens dit proces zal u worden gevraagd om uw wachtwoord over in te gaan helft-miljoen keer. Ik verliet uit die' stappen' om dit korter te houden.

- Het vormen Fink
- Het installeren van toepassingen Linux
- De toepassingen Linux van de lancering met Kwik
Installerend Bevelhebber Fink en Fink
- De eerste stap in het krijgen van programma's Linux lopend in OS X is X11 te installeren, als het niet reeds is. Om te controleren als het geïnstalleerde, open uitgezochte Vinder heeft, Toepassingen en toen Nut. Als u niet ziet X11 (of X11.app afhankelijk van uw meningsmontages) het is niet geïnstalleerdt. Gelukkig, heb ik a volledige analyse voor dat eveneens.
- Zodra u X11 geïnstalleerde hebt, bezoek http://www.finkproject.org/download/ en download de aangewezen versie van Fink voor uw MAC. Zodra de download heeft voltooid, open het .dmg dossier en de looppas Fink xxxx installer.pkg.
- De installateur Fink zal lanceren. Klik Ga verder en Ik ga akkoord een bos van tijden. U zal voor uw wachtwoord minstens eens tijdens de installatie worden veroorzaakt.
- Tegen het eind van de installatie, a Vestiging uw milieu Fink het venster zal verschijnen. Zorg om te klikken ervoor Ja.
- Het veronderstellen van allen ging goed, zou een bevestigingsvenster moeten verschijnen.
- Klik Sluit om de installateur te beëindigen Fink.
- Nu, terug in dat .dmg dossier, bepaal de plaats van de titled omslag FinkCommander en open het.
- Sleep FinkCommander dossier aan uw Toepassingen omslag. Dit is een belangrijke stap - FinkCommander zal niet behoorlijk werken als u het van binnenuit het .dmg dossier in werking stelt.
- Van uw Toepassingen, bepaal van de plaats FinkCommander en lanceer het.
- U zal met een eerder grote lijst van pakketten worden voorgesteld Linux - maar alvorens u installerend hen gek gaat, zult u een paar updates moeten eerst in werking stellen.
- Selecteer Bron van het hoogste menu en toen Scanpackages van de drop-down lijst.
- niet verrast ben als u ertoe aan wordt gezet om uw wachtwoord in te gaan - tweemaal, en dan een bericht (zie screenshot hieronder) zeggend worden u moeten lopen Scanpackages opnieuw.
- Herhaal Bron -> Scanpackages proces en de 2de keer het zal werken.
- Now select Source from the top menu, Utilities and then Index.
- Watch as FinkCommander runs some updates, and once that has completed…
- Select Binary and then Update descriptions
- Now locate Fink in the list of packages. You can sort the packages by Name to quickly locate it, or use the Search feature. Select Fink by clicking on it once.
- With Fink highlighted, select Binary and then Install
- And once again, watch as Fink updates itself.
- Now it’s time for some fun. Locate a Linux program/package that you want to install. I used trackballs (a silly but fun game) as an example. Once you’ve found the program you want to install, highlight it by clicking it once.
- Select Binary and then Install
- During the installation, you may get a pop-up window asking for you to respond to something (see screenshot below). Generally it’s looking for a Y/n (yes/no) answer - but check the status part of FinkCommander. In this case, the default is Y (yes), so you can select Accept default response and click Submit.
- That’s it. Fink will automatically determine any packages that are required to run whatever program you chose to install, and install them as well. To launch your recently installed program, open up a Terminal and type in the programs name. If you’re a Quicksilver user (and you should be!) - keep reading for instructions on how to launch Linux programs with it.
Launching Linux applications with Quicksilver
- Once you’ve installed a Linux app or two using Fink, you can launch them with Quicksilver if you add the folder they’re stored in to Quicksilver’s catalog. Bring up the Quicksilver preferences by invoking Quicksilver and click the Apple key + ,
Select Catalog from the top menu
- Click the + (plus sign) and select File & Folder Scanner
- Navigate to Macintosh HD -> sw -> bin and click Open
- Make sure the bin folder was added to the Sources list.
- From the side drawer, change the Include Contents: entry to Folder Contents
- Back in the Catalog window, click the Refresh button (the swirl arrow)
- The bin entry in the Sources list should now have 80+ items (give or take) indexed. Exit out of the Quicksilver preferences.
- Invoke Quicksilver and test it out.

Realmente ?til. Really thanks for this great tutorial.

Can I install Gnome this way?
Wow, I’m honestly no a fan of OSX, since I love Linux, but if they keep making kool little apps like this I might have to make the change.
Susan:
Yes, Gnome is available, but a bit dated, though it looks like there’s been some work to bring everything up to version 2.16.
This article’s headline is a bit misleading. Fink does not install Linux applications– The binaries are in Mac OS X/Darwin Mach-0 format, not ELF. The Fink project provides Mac builds of popular applications designed for a variety of UNIX-type operating systems, such as Linux and Solaris. The Fink maintainers have worked out the build specifics for Mac OS X and make binaries available. The graphical programs use X11 and by extension Gnome or KDE, just as they do on other UNIX platforms.
Personally, I’d like to see more work towards implementing GTK and QT APIs for the Aqua desktop and Core Graphics, bypassing X11, but these things take time. For those comfortable with X11, Gnome and KDE, Fink dramatically expands your choices for Mac software.
Susan you should be able to install Gnome I remember installing KDE using Fink a couple years ago. It’s a long running stable project. I deleted my fink installation last year, but now I am tempted to re-install it.
Being picky these are not linux applications.
Linux is a kernel which you can run these applications on, just as you can run these applications on the FreeBSD kernel.
it helps very much,
thanks…
Very cool! Thanks!
it helps very much,
thanks?
This is a well done walk through, I like it — unfortunately the reality of using fink is often littered with undocumented errors and, as ever so often happens with anything open source, the work-around’s to things like Buildlock failures, are usually fraught with in-speek and gobbledegook only those already familiar with Linux can decipher.
I built KDE once and it took me a week - and trust me, previous to that, I thought I knew what I was doing.
Will this work for JBuilder4?
how can you add apps to be installed? what I would really love to do is get groupwise (linux platform) to run under this.
Thanks,
RossB
I have just one thing to say:
“Thank you!”
…great work keep it up
hello just ran across your site and followed direction to install but need help the only application i can get to run is trackball ive tried crafty chess , doewars, danican, othello and some of the editors they wont start im using a mac powerbook g4 with a ppc processor and also when i installed fink i didnt get the Setting up your Fink environment window you spoke of at end of instalation i also want to know should i have got that screen or is that only for intel based chip macs and also once i get it working correctly how can i install linux/unix packages and or applications in fink other than the ones provided
Can I use this to install apps that are not listed on Fink?
How do you import new packages into Fink and have Fink install them?
Rashid and Daniel,
See: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=371315&group_id=17203
for info on requesting new packages to be added to Fink.
Cheers!
can i run normal linux programs with this?
1. Does this install programs in somewhere like MacHD instead of the Apps folder (just typing the program name in terminal opens the program!)? And I see “sw” folder in the MacHD folder.
2. How can one un-install Fink after installing it?
3. I was interested in getting YS Flight to install on Mac. Can I use Fink?
I am going to attempt to run a linux based environmental modeling system on my new MacBook. Does anyone know if my 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo can handle running a Linux application this complicated? It takes 99.9% of my processing power and 3 hours to run on an old Pentium 4 with Linux installed. I want to speed things up a bit, and I wouldn’t mind the portability. I estimated I could probably run it in 45 min. on this processor, but I’ve never ran a Linux app on my Mac, and I am unsure if there is any % CPU lost when you’re running the app from fink in OS X. Thanks
Very simple tutorial! Anyone that’s used linux (Even, *shudder* Ubuntu) for an amount of time, & learned it, will recognize what’s going on in your screen shots. QUick, Short Sweet N Effective I rate this tutorial 10 stars even if your technical termonology is wrong & these apps have been ported. THIS WILL SHOW IN GOOGLE when we search using what we want to say. In English. Not Machine Code.
-ez, then
