- If you have Parallels for Windows installed on your Macintosh computer,
consider instead downloading for PC/Windows (it is easier).
- If you already have a MotionGenesis folder (e.g., in /Applications), rename it to MotionGenesisOld.
Otherwise, the new installation may OVERWRITE all YOUR files in the MotionGenesis folder.
- Optional: To plot with MotionGenesis, you may need to download/install Java JDK (not JRE).
To plot, you may also need to download/install Quartz X11, then logout, then re-login.
