Installing the Client

Macintosh

Run the installer on smb://balder.hampshire.edu/private/papercut-client/mac/client-local-install

In order to force the client to load for each user and keep said users (who don't always know what's best for them) from quitting the client, a login hook will need to be established. Aafter installation completes, log into the Admin account and navigate to "Applications" -> "PCClient" ctrl+click on the icon and choose "Show Package Contents." In "Contents" -> "Resources" run the file "install-login-hook.command" follow the prompts in the terminal window.
