HOW TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL Stepmania AND songs ON A MAC

First Downloading and installing the program - Go to www.stepmania.com

Click downloads and download/install the stepmania program.

Follow the steup wizard and install the program.

Second - Downloading songs - You can either download indiviual songs on the site or you can download "packs" with multiple songs within the folder.

NOTE: The songs will download as a ".smzip" file which will not open. To fix this, simply rename the folder as a ".zip" and it will open.

Third: Installings the songs into the game - After unzipping the song files, open up the folder all the way to the folder containing the songs (and any other add-ons it may hold - i.e. banners, graphics, etc.) Keep this folder open in a finder winder. Open the Stepmania folder in a necond finder window and go to the "Songs" folder. Inside the folder, create a new folder that will organize this grouping of songs (i.e. if you downloaded a specific "pack" of songs you may want to name this folder after the name of the pack for future refernce within the game) and rename as you wish. Now, you should have two finder windows open - one with the downloaded songs and one with the "songs" folder for Stepmania. Drag the downloaded song folders (with any contents they may have) into this new folder in your "songs" folder.

Fourth: Launch the game (by clicking on the yellow image of the guy break dancing) and play!

Fifth: Enjoy with your dance mat!neeee
