Info
- All users: Some configurations run in the background during the installation, which may seem relatively slow (especially on virtual machines). When the installation finishes, you will be asked to reboot: Please do not force the reboot yourself, as you may end up with an incomplete installation.
- MacOS Ventura users: If an XQuartz update message appears after the CalderaRIP installation, please do not upgrade since the latest versions of this application present compatibility issues. If done already, then follow the instructions in this article to downgrade.
