Mobile Requirements

The Equities Lab system is not supported on any mobile platforms and currently there are no plans to change this stance. Once you’ve used the software, you will understand the practical issues of using the system on the small screen which are available on mobile platforms.

Attention Mac Users

– Equities Lab, to our knowledge, runs perfectly on OS X Yosemite Version 10.10 and above.

– Also to our knowledge Equities Lab has issues running on OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 and below.

So if you are running on OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 or below we first suggest that you update for free to OS X Yosemite 10.10 which you can do for FREE in the App Store then download and run Equities Lab normally.

If you do not wish or are unable to update then we have a couple options for you:

A.  First try downloading Equities Lab normally if you have 10.9 and below. It may work or it may not. If you run into issues then try this:

B.  Open Equities Lab Via the Terminal.

1.  Open Terminal on your Mac. To do so click the little magnifier icon in the top right of your Mac and type in “terminal” then select it.

2.  In the terminal, first copy and paste the following text then press return(enter):

cat > runel.sh

Your Terminal will look like this:

3. Now Copy and paste the following text into the next line of the terminal and press return(enter):

#!/bin/bash
cd "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents"
`find . -name javaws`  http://www.equitieslab.com/wiki/EquitiesLabProd.jnlp

Your Terminal will look like this:

4. Now Press Control + D on the new line.

Your Terminal will look like this:

5. Now copy and paste the following text and press return(enter):

chmod a+x runel.sh

Your Terminal will look like this:

6. Now copy and paste the following text and press return(enter):

./runel.sh

After pressing Return in Step 6 Equities Lab should have downloaded. If it did not then we suggest updating to OS X Yosemite 10.10 for free then downloading Equities Lab normally OR you will just need to access a windows computer to have access to Equities Lab

We Apologize for any inconvenience.

WAIT: To ensure you do not have to repeat those horrible steps each time you want to run the program then follow these steps:

1. Click on the little magnifying glass in the upper right of your Mac and search for “runel.sh”

2. Once you find it rename that file to “runel.command”

3. Now drag that File to your desktop so that it will be easily accessible.
