You can test Scifeon without installing anything on your computer, you just need to follow these simple steps:

1. Get the Scifeon Runtime

Download Scifeon Runtime for Mac OS

Unzip the zip-file into a location on your computer, e.g. /Users/<username>/Desktop/scifeon-runtime

2. Run Scifeon

  • Go to the folder where you unzipped the Scifeon Runtime
  • Navigate into the folder /Users/<username>/Desktop/scifeon-runtime/scifeon
  • Double-click the file Scifeon
  • Now you will probably receive a security warning. Depending on your operating system, do the following:
1. Open **Security & Privacy** settings (using Spotlight cmd+space and search for Security) 2. Click **Open Anyway**:
![Mac OS security warning](media/mac-warning-3.png "Mac OS security warning")
...and **Open** in this dialog:
![Mac OS security warning](media/mac-warning-2.png "Mac OS security warning")

3. Wait for Scifeon to start

You will now see a Command Prompt with a output somewhat similar to this:

Scifeon Command Prompt

The first time you are running Scifeon, the output can be delayed a few seconds, because the database behind Scifeon is being created.

4. Launch Scifeon in a browser

Open a modern browser, e.g. Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, and enter http://localhost:5000/ in the URL and press Enter. You should now see the login screen below:

Enter the username admin and password 12345678 and start exploring Scifeon!
