=== Step 1: Download and install Mono ===
* Go to [http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html Mono for Mac] 
* On that page, under "Step 1", click on the Mac OS X icon under "long term supported version 2.6.7." That will make some download information appear below.
* Now, go down to step 2 "Download Mono for Mac OSX." You want to select the Mono 2.6.7 version for your Mac. For 99% of people that's going to be Intel Framework CSDK. If you're not sure which type you have, you can click on the apple menu and click "about this mac"
* Once it downloads, double click on the Mono Framework item in the download menu. That will open up a folder called MonoFramework-2.6.7
* In the MonoFramework-2.6.7 folder, double click on the MonoFramework2.6.7<blahblah>.pkg file (the icon looks like a cardboard box)
* Let it do its thing - whenever possible just hit continue or agree. I recommend just putting it in the install location where it wants. Click install, type your password when it asks for it, and it should report "the installation was successful.


=== Step 2. '''Download and Install Calico''' ===
* Grab the zip file: [http://myro.roboteducation.org/~dblank/download/?C=N;O=D myro.roboteducation.org/~dblank/download]

* After downloading, drag the calico folder to your desktop (or somewhere else that you like to keep important stuff.


=== Step 3. '''Run Calico''' ===
* double click on the calico folder on your desktop to open it up.
* Inside, you'll find two files called StartCalico. One of them is a Unix executable file - ignore that one. The other is an application. Double click on the application (if you get a warning that you downloaded it from the internet, that's OK, click "open"
* In a few seconds, the calico window with the butterfly icon should appear. 
* Just to make sure it works, let's do some simple math: type 3+2 in the top window and then hit enter
