The program that you install combines the Catholic Calendar with a free one-month trial of the Universalis program features.

To get the Catholic Calendar: download and install the program from this page.

To get the Universalis program permanently: download and install the program from this page. Try it out during the one-month free trial period. Once you have decided that this is definitely what you want, enter a registration code into the program.

System requirements

You need a computer running Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) or 10.5 (Leopard) or later.

This is a Universal program, meaning that it will run on both Intel Macs and PowerPC Macs.

The size of the downloaded file is about 2.5MB, and the size of the program after installation is about 5.2MB.

Downloading

Click on this link: Universalis.dmg.

Safari - A small Downloads window will appear and the download will start automatically.

Firefox - A window will pop up asking you if you want to save this file. Choose "Save File".

When the download has finished, you will see the file listed in the Downloads window. Click on the "Open" link next to it.

Installation

Whichever browser you used, you will now see a folder called Universalis Installation open on your desktop, with a Universalis icon inside it.

Drag the Universalis icon to wherever you want it to be. This can be your desktop, or your Applications folder.

If you put Universalis in your Applications folder then you may also like to have it visible in the Dock for easy access. Drag it from the Applications folder (not from the Universalis Installation folder) into the Dock, and you will see the other Dock items move apart to make room for it.

Tidying up

Close the temporary "Universalis Installation" folder that the Universalis icon was in.
Look for an icon on your desktop that is called "Universalis Installation" and has a picture of a hard disk drive. Right-click on it and select "Eject Universalis Installation" from the pop-up menu.
If you can see a file called "Universalis.dmg" lying around, you can safely erase it. If you can't see it, don't worry: it only takes up 3 megabytes anyway. (Depending on your web browser, it may be in your Downloads folder or on your desktop).
