# Setup
@ -67,13 +67,7 @@ If you have file-shared the Game Journals from another machine that's
running the game and mounted them on your Linux machine then you will need to
configure this to point to where you mounted them.
### macOS
It has not been possible to run the Game on macOS for many years now, so the
only use of this Application is if you have file-shared the Game Journals and
mounted them on your macOS machine.
Thus you will need to configure `Preferences` > `Configuration` >
`E:D journal file location` to point to where you have mounted them.
Distributions from source also include the `linux-setup.sh` in the included scripts directory. This script sets up the support files to make running EDMC simpler. This script determines the source path of EDMC, copies a startup script (`edmarketconnector.sh`) into place, and adds a .desktop file into your local share applications directory.
## Frontier Authentication
The first time that you run the app while playing the game you are redirected to Frontier's authentication website and prompted for your username and password. This is the same username and password combination that you use to log into the Elite: Dangerous launcher.
