Installing Xinet Pilot and Plug-ins on a Macintosh Client Machine
The following instructions are for user installing Pilot for the first time on their local Macintosh computer running OS X. Once installed, the Pilot icon is displayed on the right of the menu bar on a OS X platform. To configure Pilot so it can access the correct Xinet server, users simply right-click on the icon, select Preferences, and specify the server URL.
IMPORTANT: Pilot is installed by default when installing the client software on your local system. In order to maintain an older Asset Browser site, the option to install Pilot must be disabled.
