How do I install MonoDevelop on my Mac?

Question

I just downloaded MonoDevelop for my Mac, but I cannot figure out how to install it.

Does anyone know exactly what to type in the terminal to get it to install?

Answer 1

The recently updated Mono 1.2.6 package for MacOS X contains Imendio's Native Gtk+ for OSX, Gtk# and MonoDevelop 0.18.1 with Mac support. It is now available from Mono's downloads page.

It appears that you have to run all three of these installs to get it to work:

• Mono 2.2_5 Framework - Universal
• MonoDevelop 2.0 Alpha 2
• Cocoa# 0.9.4 source
