The installer requires OS 9 to run. Modern Macs do not have the Classic environment needed to run this Installer, so simply open the CD and drag the "Oni ƒ" folder to the desired place on your hard drive. It's recommended that you then rename the folder to simply "Oni". See the section "Patches" below for the current version of the Oni application that you need to run the game. If Oni still does not run properly, see [[Troubleshooting]]. | The installer requires OS 9 to run.
