Thank you to DarioJames for this guide!


Basic Setup

To begin, download the latest version of YAEB Mac OSX .app bot from the website.

The latest version are coming as a .zip instead of .rar as there were issues with case sensitivity being lost in the archives.

The built in Archive Utility.app and Stuffit may report "The structure of the archive is damaged" . If you receive this error I would suggest getting The Unarchiver to expand the zip: http://code.google.com/p/theunarchiver/

So you have the latest file downloaded and copied to folder you wish to run the bot from.

Right mouse click the file and expand with your favorite utility.

Select Folder you wish to run the bot from and select Paste Item. Repeat as need for as many bots as you want to run via double clicking on the application via the finder! To run multiple instances via the finder you must have multiple copies of the YAEB.app.

Either double click the YAEB.app icon or right mouse click and select Open.

Advanced Tips

So you do not want to have multiple copies of the YAEB.app but want to run multiple instances?

How you ask?

I will tell you a method.


Open up Terminal. Application > Utilities > Terminal.

Enter an open command. e.g. open /path/to/your/bot/YAEB.app --args -u your_info@your_email.net -s 158. The --args argument passes the rest of the options on to the YAEB.app.

To run another instance you need on use the -n argument of the open command. e.g. open /path/to/your/bot/YAEB.app -n --args -u your_info_for_2nd_bot@your_email.net -s 158.

Those of you who are script savy should be able to figure out how to make a pseudo instance manager for at least starting up your bots.
