Download and installation

• Windows users: use the .exe easy-install download option from the Full Download choice on the BuddySpace downloads page, and locate the double-clickable icons to launch BuddySpace. During the installation, you will be offered the option of placing a shortcut/alias into your system startup folder (called simply 'Launch BuddySpace when Windows starts?'... a good idea!).
• Mac OS X users: Use the .sit easy-install download option from the Full Download choice on the BuddySpace downloads page. This will create a 'disk image' on your desktop called BS2.x.x which will have a folder called 'BuddySpace' inside: drag that BuddySpace folder into a new location/folder of your own choice. Also drag the BuddySpace application icon into your System Preferences... Login Items so that it auto-launches when you start up/login.
• For Do-It-Yourself users (all platforms): unzip your download (files can be stored anywhere)

  Next, find and run (or double-click) the file buddyspace.bat (PC) or buddyspace.sh (Unix/Linux/Mac). Mac OS X (10.1 or newer) users may have to open the Terminal program, found in the Applications_Utilities folder, and re-type the command line string found within buddyspace.sh (see a typical Mac tutorial for advice on how to get this Mac Terminal program 'Command Line Interface' running).
