This section covers the installation of the PaperCutUser ClientThe User Client tool is an add-on that resides on a user's desktop. It allows users to view their current account balance via a popup window, provides users with the opportunity to confirm what they are about to print, allows users to select shared accounts via a popup, if administrators have granted access to this feature, and displays system messages, such as the 'low credit' warning message or print policy popups. on Apple Mac systems. Before installing the client software, review Mac printing in detail and first ensure printing is working as expected.

The PaperCut Mac User Client software is a supplied as a native Mac .app package. The User Client is delivered in two flavors:
- The current client, which supports Mac OS X 10.7 (Mountain Lion) and above.
- The legacy client, which supports Mac OS X versions from 10.4 to 10.6. It is a universal application that runs on both PowerPC and Intel hardware. The legacy client will not receive future feature enhancements.
Transferring files between user accounts on a Mac. To transfer a file from your user account to another, all you have to do us utilize the Shared folder found in your Macintosh HD folder. To get to it easily, you can open a Finder window, and go to Go Computer in the Menu Bar. Then, you’ll go to Users Shared. If it goes into the main Applications folder, then yes, it's available to all users - though each user will have their own distinct prefs, saved under their account. If it's installed to /Users/your name/Applications, then it's only available to that user. If other users are in the same space as you, you'll see their names in a list in the top left. To see where all the users in the Campus are, though, you can click the gear icon in the top right and then select 'Find Users'.
Apple has switched to a yearly release cycle for Mac OS X, which means it is difficult to keep this documentation up to date. For the most recent and up-to-date information on current best practices, see the Knowledge Base.
For Mac OS X 10.7 and later
Utilizing LaunchAgent:
Install For All Users Mac
For Macs running 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10, 10.11, and later, the best way to establish set launch behavior patterns for the PCClient.app is to use LaunchAgents managed by LaunchD. For more information, see http://www.papercut.com/kb/Main/MacClientStartupWithLaunchd.
For legacy Mac OS X (10.6 and earlier) solutions:
For Macintosh computers running versions of Mac OS older than 10.7, the following three common installation methods cover most situations. The instructions for the 'single user install' follow the standard Mac application installation process and can be conducted by any Mac end user. The other installation methods are more technically focused and aimed at Mac network administrators.
Special Notes for Mac OS X 10.6 and earlier
NOTE'>NOTEThe current version of the PaperCut client does not work on Mac OS X 10.6 and earlier. For these systems the legacy client must be used. If the client fails to start, ensure you are using the correct client for your system.
The legacy client is found in [app-path]/client/legacy. Use this path to locate the client when referenced in the following sections.

The legacy client software works best if Java 5 (or higher) is installed. Java 5 is available for OS X 10.4 or above. If Java is not already installed, the installer is available from the Apple website. This simplest way to install Java is to run /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences from OS X Finder, and you are prompted to complete the installation.
Install For All Users Machines
Single user install
This method is suitable for a Mac computer used by a single user. For example, a personal Mac desktop or laptop. The installation process involves clicking the client-local-install program. This copies the PCClient application into the over to the system's Applications folder and starts the client in the 'confirm network identity' mode. The simplest way to run the install process is to connect to a Windows server's pcclient share over the network, however, alternate methods such as copying the folder contents via a USB key or drive are also possible.
To install the Mac User Client from a server's share:
- Start and Log in to the Mac computer. Ensure it's connected to the network.
- Open the Finder.
- In the Go menu, select Connect to Server.
- Enter the pcclient share's connection details, such as: smb://server_name/pcclient.
- Enter password information if requested.
- Double-click the client-local-install file. This executes a small AppleScript program that starts the install/copy process. (If installing on a legacy system (OS X 10.6 or earlier), you must install the legacy client located in the legacy folder.)
- Test the application by double-clicking the PCClient application icon in the system's local Applications folder.
If the user needs the User Client for printing (for example, to use the shared accountA shared account is an account that is shared by multiple users. For example, in business, shared accounts can be used to track printing costs by business unit, project, or client. Organizations like legal firms, engineering firms, or accounting offices often have long lists of accounts, projects, clients, or matters. In a school or university, shared accounts can be used to track printing by departments, classes, or subjects. popup), configure the application to automatically open upon start up:
- Open System Preference from the Apple menu.
- Select Accounts.
- Select your login account.
- Click the Login Items tab.
- Click + then browse and select the PCClient application.
- Test by restarting the computer. The client should start automatically after the reboot and log in procedure is complete.
Mac Install Software For All Users
Multi-user install
On a multi-user Mac system, setting up a Login Item for each user would be a tedious task. To streamline this process, you can configure the PCClient application to start on login via the login hook. A login hook is an advanced Mac feature that works by running a script when a user logs in. The PCClient package includes a command script resource that installs the login hook.
To install the User Client on a multi-user system:
- Start and log in to the Mac computer.Ensure the Mac computer is connected to the network.
- Open the Finder.
- From the Go menu, select Connect to Server
- Enter the pcclient share's connection details, for example, smb://server_name/pcclient
- Enter password information if requested.
- Drag the PCClient (or legacy/PCClient on OS X 10.6 or lower) package to the local hard disk's Applications folder. The copy process begins.
- In the Applications directory, Control+click the newly copied PCClient application.
- Select Open Package Contents.
- Navigate to Contents/Resources/.
- Double-click the install-login-hook.command script.
- Restart the system and verify the client starts on login.
If you're already using a login hook for other script tasks, the setup process is different. Instead in step 10, double-click the set-permissions.command file. Then insert the following line at the end of your current login script (all on one line):
/Applications/PCClient.app/Contents/Resources/login-hook-start '$1'
The set-permissions.command script ensures the software is set up with the correct permissions, making it accessible to all users.
You can remove the login hook, once installed, with the terminal command:
sudo defaults delete com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook
Zero-install deployment
This deployment method is for advanced Mac network administrators and is suitable for medium to large Mac networks. Knowledge of the Mac's Unix underpinning and scripting is required.
A more flexible option over locally installing the PCClient package on each Mac system, is to directly launch the client from the pcclient share. The advantage of this deployment method is that any updates applied on the server (and updates to the client directory) are automatically propagated to all workstations.
The process of setting up zero-install deployment varies from network to network depending on the directory environment in use and administrator preferences. The process can, however, be summarized as:
- Configure the Macs to mount the pcclient share as a volume on login or start-up.
- Configure a login hook to start the client off the share. The install-login-hook.command resource script explained in the multi-user install above might help.
The typical way to mount the share is to use mount_smbfs in a boot script. See the Apple documentation on mount_smbfs at: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man8/mount_smbfs.8.html

Microsoft Windows binaries
Please readthe Windows section of theInstall Guide for limitations and installation instructions for theWindows version of Nmap. You can choosefrom a self-installer (includes dependencies and also the Zenmap GUI)or the much smaller command-line zip file version. We support Nmap on Windows 7 and newer, as well as Windows Server 2008 and newer. We also maintain a guide for userswho must run Nmap on earlier Windows releases..
The Nmap executable Windows installer can handle Npcapinstallation, registry performance tweaks, and decompressing theexecutables and data files into your preferred location. It also includes the Zenmap graphical frontend. Skip all thecomplexity of the Windows zip files with a self-installer:
Latest stable release self-installer: nmap-7.91-setup.exe
We have written post-install usageinstructions. Please notify usif you encounter any problems or have suggestions for theinstaller.
For those who prefer the command-line zip files (Installation Instructions; UsageInstructions), they are still available. The Zenmap graphicalinterface is not included with these, so you need to runnmap.exe from a DOS/command window. Oryou can download and install a superior command shell such as thoseincluded with the free Cygwin system.Also, you need to run the Npcapand Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Packageinstallers which are included in the zip file. The main advantage is that these zip files are a fraction of the size of the executable installer:

Source Code Distribution
This is the traditional compile-it-yourself format. The Nmaptarball compiles under Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, and many UNIXplatforms (Solaris, Free/Net/OpenBSD, etc.) It includes Zenmap, theGUI frontend.
Detailed Linux/BSD/Solaris compilation instructions and options are provided here, though this usually does the trick:
Most Windows users install with our Windows executable installer, but we also provide Windows source code compilation instructions.
Most Mac OS X users install with our Mac installer, but we also provide Mac OS X source code compilation instructions.
If you are compiling Nmap anyway, you might prefer to get the very latest code from our SVN source code repository rather than downloading a tarball here.
Latest stable Nmap release tarball: nmap-7.91.tar.bz2 (or gzip compressed)
Other Operating Systems
Many other operating systems support Nmap so well that I have no needto create and distribute binary packages myself. You can choose touse the packages below, or compile the sourcedistribution, which is often newer. We have created installation pages for the following platforms:
