Sugar and a Mac in a start-up?

[tegllc]

Okay, i've looked around the forums, done a search and cannot find these answers. Any help that the community can provide is very much appreciated!

1. Do you need a server to run the basic version of Sugar? How can a single version of Sugar be installed on a laptop and demo'ed (or run)?

2. Can you run Sugar on a Mac? Specifically, iBook G4 running ...... I saw that there is no import into iCal available yet but am i able to run the CRM on this OS?

Thanks again for the help!

Okay, after looking around some I've answered my own question. Can someone please veriofy I'm correct.

-Macs are fine to use with SUgar

- Gotta have a server to run Sugar.


thanks....

My company is all mac... macs are fine. Use firefox as your browser, not Safari. You do need a "server," but maybe not in the sense that you are thinking. Every version of OS X comes pre-installed w/ Apache. If you install MySQL and PHP onto your computer (laptop or whatever), you can run a local installation of Sugar on that machine.

I've started a thread here to document my efforts at making it easier to install SugarOS on a Macintosh...

Short answer, though, it's not too hard to run SugarOS on a Mac. I'm doing it right now! The only additional piece of software that needs to be installed is mysql, if I remember correctly. The rest is there or is there but lingering un-enabled (in php's case...)

Hope this helps!
