Install Tombay on Mac

Tombay is a good note-taking application for Linux.After I have changed to Mac, I was looking for a similar note-taking application. At the end, I installed Tombay on my Mac Mountain Lion/Lion.

Here are the quick steps I have followed to install Tombay.

1. Make sure you have n't installed Mono library. If your system has any previous installation, uninstall it.

2. Download and install Mono. Why we need Mono library? - Since tombay is written in C#, system needs Mono runtime to build and run on mac.

3. Get the latest source code from repository.

git clone git://git.gnome.org/tomboy

4. Build and Open the application. Go to the source code directory(tombay)

$ xbuild Tomboy-mac.sln
$ ./bundle-mac-app.sh
$ open Tomboy.app

After the above step, Tombay application is successfully installed and available on spotslight search. I hope these steps helpful to install Tombay on Mac Mountain Lion/Lion.

Install instruction for Tomcat 7 on Mac

To install Tomcat 7 you should have Java 1.6+, so make sure version of java on your Mac by using "java --version" command.
Here are the quick steps to install Tomcat 7 on Mac. I believe it may take few minutes to install

1. Download a Core Binary file from here. The link of the binary file looks like this http://apache.techartifact.com/mirror/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.37/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.37.tar.gz
2.Extract the downloaded binary file tar -xzvf ~/Downloads/apache-tomcat-7.0.37.tar.gz
3.Create or make sure you have local folder.If you don't have it then create it sudo mkdir /usr/local Then move the extracted binary files to /usr/local sudo mv ~/Downloads/apache-tomcat-7.0.37 /usr/local
4.Soft link the installed folder to Mac's library folder. To maintain easily the installed application sudo ln -s /usr/local/apache-tomcat-7.0.37 /Library/Tomcat7
5. Change the ownership and executable permission to application folder sudo chown -R YOUR_MAC_USER_NAME /Library/Tomcat7 sudo chmod +x /Library/Tomcat7/bin/*.sh
6. Installation is done, now you can start/stop the Tomcat7 Service /Library/Tomcat7/bin/startup.sh /Library/Tomcat7/bin/shutdown.sh
7. Open your browser and type the URL to see welcome message of tomcat7 application server - http://localhost:8080
