Installation Instructions                                                                                                    

The installer will allow you to choose which type of Navigator to place on your hard disk. You can select a version designed to run on 68000 machines, Power Macintoshes, or a FAT binary for any Macintosh.

As always, it's considered good practice to temporarily disable any virus detection software or non-essential Extensions or Control Panels prior to installing new software onto your Macintosh.

1. Download the .hqx file to your Macintosh.  If you are using Netscape to do the download and your machine is correctly configured, Netscape will automatically run the correct program to decode the .hqx file.  If not, you wil need to use one of the many utilities which can decode .hqx files (Binhex format), we recommend something in the StuffIt family of products, such as "StuffIt Expander"

2. To install Netscape Navigator™ 2.01, double click the installer named Netscape 2.01 Installer.

a)  Click "Install" to place a binary of Netscape Navigator™ 2.01 on your hard disk which is designed to run on your Macintosh. This will also install a Plug-ins folder with the default plugin, and any necessary Macintosh system software to enable Drag and Drop functionality or PowerPC AppleScript support.

b) To specify a 68K, PowerPC, or FAT binary install of Netscape Navigator™ 2.01, select "Custom Install" from the pop-up menu in the upper left corner of the installer window.  Choose the items you wish to install onto your hard disk, and click "Install".

After an installation (or after rebooting if you have installed System software), the Netscape Setup application will offer to take you to the Netscape Setup site. From here you can register your copy of Netscape Navigator™, receive notices about software upgrades, or download additional plug-ins which allow you to experience a wide range of multimedia content on the Internet.

3) Remember to read the release notes at the URL mentioned above.  They contain helpful and up-to-date information about running Netscape Navigator™ 2.01.
