Mac OS X
You don't need to install Java for OS X... Java is installed by default and shipped with every OS X. The only important thing is to update your version of Java to the latest, through OS X System Software update. This is to ensure you have the latest Java version, especially for OS X 10.6.6 and above, which makes your version of Java(SE) capable of 32bit & 64bit.

Note: Don't go to the Java or Oracle website to acquire Java. Apple supplies and maintains Java for OS X. This is true as of Java 1.6 though this practice might change with Java 1.6. Because Apple maintains their own Java, every Java application in OS X looks and performs like a native cocoa application.

JDK 1.6 for Mac OS X?
The whole JDK (JRE,JVM, Class Libraries, Development tools such as compiler) are built into every OS X, thus making installation of LogicalDOC the easiest of all 3 (Windows, Linux, MacOS X) platforms - No need to install Java from any website. Just extract and run your LogicalDOC installation.

Install LogicalDOC
Download the LogicalDOC 6 + Tomcat 7 bundle and uncompress on your file system disk (a good option is to uncompress under /Library) or alternatively copy, move by OS X GUI, open a new finder window and browse your Macintosh HD, Locate and move/copy LogicalDOC 6 + Tomcat 7 inside the Library folder.

In OS X, open the Terminal application by browsing through Finder and navigate to Applications/Utilities folder and double click Terminal application.

Execute the following command on the terminal OR alternatively, just double click the zip file you have copied/moved in the finder and it will extract itself! Same result and no need to type or use Terminal commands.

$ unzip logicaldoc-6.x.x-tomcat-bundle.zip

Application startup
 * Execute the command /Library/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh start to run LogicalDOC + Tomcat application server.

Complete the installation
 * Continue with the Setup Procedure

Setup Procedure
You should wait for a message similar to this: INFO: Server startup in 8423 ms
 * Wait until the boot process of Tomcat ends
 * Restart Tomcat for the 2nd time
 * Wait that the startup complete
 * On a client browser, open the URL http://localhost:8080/logicaldoc/.
 * You should see under the login form a triangle of warning, click on the link to the right to activate the setup procedure
 * Perform the LogicalDOC Setup procedure using admin/admin as username/password in order to acces the protected setup section
 * Define a folder (on the filesystem) to use for the document repository (in some systems it may be necessary in advance the creation of the folder setting the correct write privileges)
 * Select the type of database to use, the fastest procedure is to select the internal database (of course you can decide to use a more efficient database, the only thing is that you first need to proceed to the creation of a database schema)

First Login
