Mac OS X Installation

Installation Procedure:

  • Open the MacOS IguanaX DMG Installer file.

  • Drag and drop the IguanaX application icon into your Applications Folder.

    • It might be necessary to stop IguanaX if it is already installed and replace the old application icon. Don’t worry this will be an upgrade - you won’t lose your data and configurations from your existing install.

  • Double click on the IguanaX application icon

  • In the Mac menu bar (top right), click the IguanaX icon to reveal a dropdown menu:

    • Choose Start Iguana from the dropdown to start the IguanaX service.

  • Then choose Iguana Dashboard from the dropdown to open your browser to Iguana which is running as a launchd service.

  • Login to Iguana using the default username, admin and password. Please change these to something more secure as soon as you login.

Need to install Git?

You may not have GIT installed on Mac and get this warning:

Click OK and a page will open up directing you on how to install GIT on MacOS. Or use this link.

Troubleshooting Tips:

Sometimes MacOS does not resolve the loopback IP address (127.0.0.1) to “localhost” as it should.

So, please try to enter this in your URL: http://127.0.0.1:7654 to access your IguanaX dashboard.

First time users of Iguana often miss the subtle little icon for Iguana in their top menu status bar. Here’s a garish picture to show you where it is!
