Notes 6 Installation on Mac OS 10.2.x

Hi everyone,

I need some direction on how to properly “install” Notes 6 on a Mac running OS 10.2.x (Jaguar). This Mac will have a user account (the person using the machine) and a root account.

I would like some advice on the following:

  • Where should the Notes 6 folder go?

  • Where should the Data folder go?

  • What type of permissions should the user have to the Notes folder and the Data folder?

I am hoping to avoid all of this once Lotus releases a Mac OS X installer for Notes 6. I am also hoping that this installer is released sooner rather than later.

Thanks!

OS X installer could be any day now, by the looks of things. The MR/MU status says that 6.01 has reached “Gold Build” status. They usually post it a few days after that, although some have been mentioning Feb 14th as the date.

Cheers,

  • Mike

Hello Michael,

as I already had an R6.0 installation, where I copied the data files to my user account /documents/Notes R6/data and the executables in the Aplications directory /Notes R6.

When I tried the installation it found the previous files and installed correctly. I had manager access to the machine.
