* Standard method 1: Use [http://www.finkproject.org/ MacPorts], and install both "geda-gaf" and "pcb."  You may also want to use the [http://porticus.alittledrop.com/ Porticus] GUI to make that process easier.

* Standard method 2: Use [http://www.finkproject.org/ Fink], and install the "geda-bundle."    You may also want to use the [http://finkcommander.sourceforge.net/ Fink Commander] GUI to make that process easier. More about this process [http://www.ghz.cc/charles/fink/ here].

* Virtual machine method: Download [http://www.virtualbox.org/ Virtualbox] and download [http://www.ubuntu.com Ubuntu], so that you can run Ubuntu in a virtual machine on your computer. (It's fast and easy!) Then, install gEDA (gschem and PCB) from the Ubuntu software center.  Note: this is ''faster'' than the Fink method-- under 1 hour, if you have a reasonably fast internet connection.

* Option 4: We highly recommend the pcb-rnd fork of PCB, available at [http://repo.hu/projects/pcb-rnd/ http://repo.hu/projects/pcb-rnd/], which is an actively developed fork implementing additional features and emphasizing portability. On the Mac, this is certainly the best option for the pcb part of gEDA.

Once you have gEDA installed on Mac you can launch the applications by running their specific apps (gschem, pcb, gerbv, xgsch2pcb) in the terminal. [http://www.msarnoff.org/geda-mac/ Matt Sarnoff wrote wrapper applications] which you can install into your applications directory to launch the appropriate file using the associated application just by double clicking on it. Depending on which option you used to install gEDA you may need to remap them in your PATH. Instruction are in his readme.
