Installing Shake


The DVD accompanying this book contains a trial version of Shake 4 that includes a free 30-day license. Use the following guidelines to install and start the application on a system running Macintosh OS X 10.3.9 or later.

Note

Shake requires you to use Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later. If you do not have at least Mac OS X 10.3.9, you need to install it on your system before you can run the application.


The trial version of Shake 4 has the following limitations:

  • A 30-day license period.

  • 40 nodes per project.

  • Saving is disabled.

  • Copy and paste are disabled.

  • Undo is disabled.

Note

If your trial version of Shake crashes or freezes for some unknown reason during the course of one of your lessons, you can load a script from the Lessons folder using the File > Open Script command. Just remove the nodes that you haven't gotten to yet, and continue where you left off before the crash occurred.


Installation Steps

The Shake installation process will require you to obtain a serial number from the Apple Web site before you install the trial software. We recommend you close all applications before you begin the installation.

1.

Using a Web browser, go to www.apple.com/shake/trial.

2.

Follow the instructions to obtain a serial number, which will be emailed to you. After you receive the serial number, proceed to the next step.

3.

Insert the Apple Pro Training Series: Shake 4 DVD into your DVD drive.

4.

Go to the Trial Software folder and copy the Shake4.00.dmg file to your desktop.

5.

Double-click the Shake4.00.dmg file.

The Shake4.0 volume is created and a Shake4.0 window opens.

6.

Double-click the Install Shake 4.0 Trial icon.

7.

In the Install Shake window, follow the onscreen instructions.

8.

When prompted, enter the serial number you obtained from the Web site in step 2.

Destination Options

In the Select Destination dialog, installation is available only on partitions with Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later. By default, Shake is installed in the Applications folder on your hard drive. Although the Applications folder is the recommended folder, you can move Shake to a different folder.

Installation Options

In the Installation Type dialog, select one of the following installation options:

  • Upgrade Performs an Easy Install, which includes Shake and the documentation, but no tutorial images.

  • Customize Gives you the option to install Shake and the documentation, only the tutorial images, or Shake and the documentation with the tutorial images.

Shake Folder Contents

When Shake is installed, four icons appear in the Shake folder: Shake, shkqtv, shkv, and a doc folder. The Shake icon represents the Shake application, and it can be placed in the Dock. The shkv icon represents the Shake Viewer application (the flipbook player). You cannot launch the Shake Viewer application outside of Shake. When you create a flipbook in Shake, the Shake Viewer is launched automatically and the shkv icon appears in the Dock.

Note

All of the Shake files are stored within the application. To view the Shake package contents, Control- or right-click the Shake icon and choose Show Package Contents.
