1. Uncovering the missing Mac OS X applications. Mac fans will point out that almost every computing niche is covered by some Mac-native software and that Mac applications are often 'better'.
2. There are pre-compiled binaries available on the Download page for Windows as MSI packages and ZIP files. One may alternatively download and build CMake from source. The Download page also provides source releases. In order to build CMake from a source tree on Windows, you must first install the latest binary version of CMake because it is used.
3. 4) Power on your Mac. Hold the Apple Key and R key until you hear the chime noise. Once heard, it will start the OS X in Recovery Mode. 5) The final step has you tapping the ‘Install Mac OS X’ and Continue in the OS X utility section of the screen to start the installation process.

Also, OS X Mountain Lion takes up about 10 GB of space on its initial installation, so the computer where you install Mac OS X must have at least 10 GB of space in its hard drive. However, that's only the bare minimum; if you plan to install Mac OS X for day-to-day use, I recommend allocating at least 50 GB of space.

An installation error occurs sometimes for when upgrading from OS X Snow Leopard to OS X Lion “Can’t download the additional components needed to install Mac OS X” – Check your network configuration as the install needs to pull down software over the internet.

But the network configuration is OK.!

Check that Software Update can connect directly to Apple Software Update Servers not a custom internal one, remove any Managed Preferences if it is a managed host.

If that still doesn’t get rid of the message I have found on a device that the drive needed to be reformatted – the only thing different about the drive I was trying to install to was that it had a Boot Camp partition on it The Boot Camp partition might be a red herring but certainly reformatting the disk solved the issue.

[unordered_list style=”green-dot”]

• clone the main HD drive to an external disk use CCC – link below
• boot from the external
• erase/reformat the main HD – use HFS Extended Journaled
• clone back the main HD from the external
• reboot from the main drive
• run the installation upgrade again

This time – no problems.

If you don’t care whats on the disk just erase it and run the upgrade, I wanted to keep all the data intact in my example, hence the clone back.

Cloning courtesy of the fantastic bombastic CCC.

Another potential solution is to remove any RAM over 4GB run the install and then put the additional RAM back in after – even then try and limit the RAM slots to one, so not 2GB in each – rather 1 slot with 4GB.
