## XQuartz (for Mac)

{% hint style="warning" %}
If using a **USD issued computer**, you may need **administrative permissions**.  Please contact the ServiceDesk for assistance if these permissions prevent installation of the software.  Make sure to include details like the software name.

**Example:**  "I am following the tutorial instructions found at the RCG docs site (<https://usdrcg.gitbook.io/docs/non-lawrence-guides/downloads#xquartz-for-mac>) to download XQuartz.  My computer is USD issued, and requires administrative permissions to install the software.  Because I don't have this level of access, I would like help in installing this software."
{% endhint %}

To begin, first download the XQuartz installer [here](https://www.xquartz.org/).

A VNC password needs to be set up (this only needs to be done **once**).  Make sure you use **vncpasswd**, **not** **vncpassword.**

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: the password will not show up as you type
{% endhint %}

```
[user.name@usd.local@login ~]$ vncpasswd
Password:

```

It may ask "Would you like to enter a view-only password (y/n)?"  The usual response is "n".
