Choose the top-most version if more than one is offered. It does not matter whether you install the JDK (the Java Development Kit) or just the JRE (the Java Runtime Environment); if you are never going to mess with Java yourself the JRE will do and it is a lot smaller. Now download the appropriate Your Freedom installation package from our Download page (the one for OS X 10.7 and newer). Put the ZIP file on your desktop and unzip it by double-clicking it.

So far there is no convenient way to run YF in 'dump mode' on the Mac. But you can do this: Open a terminal window (Applications/Utilities). In there, 'cd' to the application installation path. Let's assume you've unzipped the original archive to your desktop, you'd have to type 'cd Desktop'. Then traverse into the application directory by typing 'cd Your Freedom.app', descend down to the place where the Jar file is kept by typing 'cd Contents/Resources/Java'. In there, type 'java -jar freedom.jar --dump' or 'java -jar freedom.jar --shortdump', depending on whether you would like a full or a short dump (in most cases a short dump is enough). This will bring up the YF client in 'dump mode'. Reproduce the problem, then exit the YF client. There will be a 'dump.log' file on your desktop now. It should contain enough information for us to check what's wrong if you send us this file. |
