[Qgis-user] How to install MrSid plugin on Mac

[William Kyngesburye]

Nice that they gave you a link to the old version.

1. That's when you double click the disk image file, it's assuming you are installing the SDK immediately after installing the plugin, so the disk image should still be open.  After a coule days, you probably ejected it.

2/3.  Terminal is in Utilities, and type (or copy-paste) exactly as in the readme.
