   * **Note to Mac users:** The security settings in newer Mac OS versions have been altered to by default disallow users from casually opening and running .dmg executables that are not from Apple itself. When attempting to open the Greenstone binary .dmg file, if it pops up an error warning about security, you will need to set up the Security on your Mac to allow you to run .dmg files downloaded from the internet. Otherwise the Greenstone mac binary will not run. To do this, Go to your Mac's System Preferences. Under "Personal", select Security & Privacy. In the General tab, tick "Allow apps downloaded from Anywhere", then confirm that you want to "Allow From Anywhere". You'll need to be admin to do this, otherwise click on the padlock at the bottom left of the Security & Privacy tab and log in as admin.   * **Note to Mac users:** The security settings in newer Mac OS versions have been altered to by default disallow users from casually opening and running .dmg executables that are not from Apple itself.

-  - Launch the Java Control Panel by running ''jre/bin/javacpl.exe'' on Windows or ''jre/bin/ControlPanel'' on Linux. (GS3 binaries now include a JRE in the ''packages'' folder if you want to use the bundled JRE.) In the Java Control Panel, go to the ''Security'' tab, set Security level to ''High'' if not already set. Click ''Edit Site List'', and then press ''Add'' to add the <i>host:port</i> that the GS3 will run on. Remember, to be accessible to the outside world, the host can't be "localhost" but would be the hostname of your machine or public IP.+  - Launch the Java Control Panel by running ''jre/bin/javacpl.exe'' on Windows or ''jre/bin/ControlPanel'' on Linux.

   - Since you have set up the JNLP file association in a previous step, you can now click on the "The Librarian Interface" link and your browser should offer to save or launch a file called ''GLIapplet.jnlp''. If the browser is able to successfully launch it, Java Web Start will be used to run the GLI application indicated by the JNLP file. If launching through the browser is not possible, then choose to save the JNLP file. It will download the file to a temporary user area (like C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp on windows). And then you can rightclick on the downloaded GLIappWebStart.jnlp file, to launch it with the Java Web Start program you already associated with this file type.   - Since you have set up the JNLP file association in a previous step, you can now click on the "The Librarian Interface" link and your browser should offer to save or launch a file called ''GLIapplet.jnlp''.
