Hardware and Software Requirements

Before you install the tuner, be sure your computer has the following:

Proxy Information

If your computer is behind a firewall or your site uses proxies to improve performance, you'll need to provide the tuner with proxy information. For the quickest and smoothest tuner installation, gather the following before you begin:

Quit Marimba Applications

Before you begin installation, quit any running Marimba applications. Installation will fail if Marimba applications are running.

What's Installed Where

Installing the tuner creates three folders:

  1. The Castanet Tuner folder, containing the tuner application, is created at the top of the disk you select for installation. You can move this folder wherever you like.
  2. The System:Preferences:·marimba folder (note the bullet character preceding marimba) contains the channels the tuner downloads for you.
  3. The System:Extensions:Marimba Libraries folder contains program files shared by Marimba applications.

Installation Step-by-Step

Configuration Step by Step

When you run the tuner for the first time, it prompts you for configuration information by presenting a series of pages for you to fill in. If you've previously configured an older version of the tuner, that information is presented in the pages to save you a little typing. You can change configuration settings later by clicking the tuner's Configure tab.
