= Installation Guidelines: Mac - Developer =

As a Developer using a Mac, you have 2 choices:
 * Install Apple compiler tools, Python, and all libraries manually: InstallationGuidelines/Mac/Developer/Manual [[br]]
   //This option takes longer, but allows getting the latest versions of tools and packages, and does not have the window size limitations of the current !VirtualBox on Mac.//

 * Install [http://virtualbox.org VirtualBox] & run a [InstallationGuidelinesVirtualMachine Virtual Machine] which includes a pre-configured Eclipse on an Ubuntu OS [[br]]
   //This is appropriate for getting started quickly, as browser and IDE setup has been done. The virtual machine itself will need some setup. The virtual machine desktop is limited to a rather small window, as it cannot currently be resized, nor made full-screen. Installing directly on your machine may be a better choice if you are interested in doing long-term Eden development.//
