Installing Tracks Using Locomotive

Jacken has a great and very simple tutorial for installing Tracks using Locomotive for those of you on MacOS X. It’s a great (nearly) one-click install. Thanks, Jacken!

Jacken’s tutorial was great, I wish I found this first.  Makes OS X installation much easier than all the separate downloads and compiles.

Would like it even better if it worked though.

Yeah, it’d be a usefull app if installation worked at all. Been using Zenlist for a while but it’s up and down like a prossies knickers.

Locomotive was better but I still can’t get it to work. Someone needs to make a real installer for this thing. From what I can tell Tracks looks like a great program; just wish I could use it.

I don’t think anybody really wants to help - our pleas have gone unanswered for such a long time.

It’s a pitty because tracks is so cool.

I had (almost) no trouble with Locomotive and Tracks.  I downloaded Locomotive 2 and dragged the “Locomotive 2” folder to my Applications folder.  Then I downloaded Tracks 1.043 and put is in “~/Sites”.  Then I double-clicked Locomotive.app, and followed directions in “installation.html” in the tracks download.

The only problem I had was that in spite of specifying port 3001 for Tracks, it actually appeared on 3000.

I’m looking forward to Tracking in earnest.
