Hi Johnny, here is the direct homepage for Bean. http://www.bean-osx.com/Bean.html
I will now try to describe how you download and install it. Note two things. Once you understand how to install an app on the Mac, then it will apply to most apps that you want to use. With the exception of sometimes there being installers for some apps for the Mac but what I'm about to try to describe to you will probably be the most common situation. Another note. I am using OSX Lion so if it differs from previous Mac OS versions then I apologise but I reckon it shouldn't be all that much different. Ok lets use the website above as an example for you to install Bean and try it out for yourself! By the way it is a free app as you may probably notice. Once you go to the website, look for a link that called Download Bean. Once you've found it, do a VO space bar on it to start the download. Afther you've done this quickly press Command option L this will open the download dialog box. Chances are that if this does;doesn't happen i.e. the dialog box doesn't come up, it has been in my experience that it has already downloaded. However, if you catch the dialog then just wait for it to disappear and that should of downloaded it too. Now we have downloaded the DMG short of for Disc Image note you will find that this is a common thing that you will notice when downloading apps. Anyway we now need to get to this DMG. Chances are that by default it should be in your download's folder. A quick and nice easy way to get to it is to issue the keystroke Command Shift H. This will take you to your home directory. Once your there, locate the download folder and open it with command O. In there there should be an item called Bean install. Open this again with command O. there should be two times in there but what you want is the one called Bean.app if it just says Bean then you haven't gotten your file extensions enabled for you to reconize what extension your dealing with but trust me its an .app extention. If you want I'll tell you about how to enable that in another post but for now you want to copy this and place it in the application's folder. Copy command is Command C. Now close all your finder windows till you get to the desktop and to get to the application folder its simply a command shift A keystroke now paste the app in with command V and Bang! Its installed! The final thing you need to do is eject the disc image from the desktop this can be done with command E. Now go back to the application folder and open bean with Command O. A dialog box should pop up but just hit ok or whatever it it says. I can't remember now but once you dismiss that box, you will be in the bean application. Oh and to quit it, that is Command Q once your done messing around getting a feel for the word processor. I really hope this gets you going with downloading apps! I know at 1st it seems a weird way to install apps but I've had a Mac now about half a year and have come to think its a easier and simpler way to work with programmes than windows. That's just an opinion though. Enjoy!
