The same as the Windows download on the board. It updates itself afterwards.

It updates itself afterwards.

The Plexamp alarm

Plexamp starts on the Mac at the time you set on the Alarm page, and the music rises slowly. In Terminal:

It asks once for the email and password of your linr account. A minute later the Alarm page shows your Mac.

Wake the Mac a minute before (optional). Open the Alarm page and choose “Let the Mac wake itself”: it brings you here with the line for your time and days.

The wake line asks for the Mac’s own password. Paste it again whenever you change the time or the days. To remove the wake schedule: sudo pmset repeat cancel
