Procedure Mac OS X Version Lithium Core has been tested with and is supported on Mac OS X 10.4.x and Mac OS X 10.5.x (Client and Server). Other version may be compatible however support is not available at this time. Universal BinaryAll libraries and binaries installed by the Lithium Core installer package (including bundled product dependencies) are universal binaries. Lithium Core has been tested on both PPC- (G4/G5) and Intel-based Macs.
Prerequisites All required dependencies are installed by the Lithium Core Mac OS X Installer Package.
All dependencies, that are not installed in Mac OS X by default, are installed by the Lithium Core installer package. This includes PostgreSQL 8.x and other support libraries and applications. Under normal circumstances, you should not need to manually install any of the following
The list below is provided as a reference only Apache 1.3.x or 2.2.x
If you are installing Core on Mac OS X Client (non-Server), you MUST enable "Personal Web Sharing" through the Sharing tab in System Preferences.
If you are installing Core on Mac OS X Server , you MUST enable the "Web" service through the Server Admin application.
Net-SNMP 5.x
Net-SNMP is installed in Mac OS X by default.
Installed Components The following components are installed by default by the Lithium Core installer packages. Check the installer package for options on excluding these components if required. Note that all components are required for Lithium to operate properly.
PHP (4.x or 5.x) with PostgreSQL Database Support The Lithium Core installer package installs, by default, an updated PHP4 (Mac OS X 10.4) or PHP5 (Mac OS X 10.5) module with PostgreSQL support. Installation of this module can be disabled during the install if you already have a custom PHP module installed. PostgreSQL support is essential.
PostgreSQL 8.1The Lithium Core installer package includes an installation of PostgreSQL 8.1. This can be disabled during the install if you already have PostgreSQL installed. PostgreSQL MUST be configure to allow 'password' authentication, not 'ident same user' as is sometimes the default. If you are using the PostgreSQL install included with Lithium Core, this configuration has already been set. Selected Perl modules from CPANThe Lithium Core installer package will install selected Perl modules from the CPAN repository and attempt to configure CPAN. The modules that are installed are the basic necessities to use Lithium's Action and Service Monitoring scripts Lithium Web PHP FilesThe Lithium Core installer will install the Lithium Web PHP files in /Lithium/WebServer/Documents and create a sym-link from the Lithium Web files in /Lithium/WebServer/Documents to the /Library/WebServer/Documents/lithium directory. This will allow Lithium to be accessed via the http://servername/lithium URL.
Core Package Installation Download Lithium Core installer package. Download the Lithium Core Installer Package for Mac OS X at the following URL: http://download.lithiumcorp.com/core/osx/core_osx_current.dmg
Double click on the downloaded disk image file and Mac OS X will mount the disk image and display the following window:  Click here if this step did not work for you... Double click on the Installer Package and proceed through the installation steps noting the instruction provided at each step.  Click 'Install' to perform the installation of Lithium Core. The installation process will require authentication to perform the installation actions that require administrator privileges. Initial Configuration Using Lithium Core Admin.app to setup Lithium Core The Lithium Core installer package will have installed the "Lithium Core Admin.app" application in your Applications folder. 
Launch the Lithium Core Admin.app application now to complete the setup of Lithium Core. The Core Admin tool will begin a setup assistant that will take you through the process of configuring Lithium Core For more information, click here to proceed to the Lithium Core Initial Setup documentation
