We look at four options for installing Microsoft’s latest OS on your Mac by John Moltz, Macworld.com Maybe you have to do it for work. Maybe you’re just curious. Maybe you’re a glutton for punishment who lives on the bleeding edge. Maybe you lost a bet. Whatever the reason, you want to run the Windows 8 Preview Release. I’m not here to judge you. I’m just here to help you get Windows 8 running on your Mac. There are several ways to accomplish this, but I’m going to look at four options— Boot Camp, Parallels, VMware Fusion and Virtual Box. Boot Camp The first requires items that you probably have around the house—a recent Mac and OS X, which ships with Boot Camp, Apple’s dual boot manager. You might want to run Windows on an older machine, as Windows 8 actually has much less stringent hardware requirements than Mac O ion, but the problem is that only Macs since about 2008 have firmware that can boot from disks with the modified boot sectors Microsoft started using in Vista. I was actually able to install an earlier preview release on a 2006 Core Solo Mac mini, but not the latest release, which is unfortunate. It is possible to extract the install into a new disk image with a normal boot sector, but it’s complicated, and you’d need an existing Windows install to attempt it. So, assuming you have a relatively recent Mac, the first thing you’ll need to install Windows 8 Preview Release via Boot Camp is, not surprisingly, a copy of Windows 8 Preview Release, which Microsoft is providing for download at the cost of only a valid email address and your immortal soul. Since we’ve already determined that you’re using a recent Mac, you’ll want the 64-bit release. Remember to make note of the activation code. Yes, I said “activation code.” When it’s time to install the Windows 8 Preview Release in Boot Camp, make like you’re installing Windows 7. Apple’s dual boot manager.

“ To install, drag this icon ” no more! Let’s see if we can get the elegance, simplicity, and speed of Homebrew for the installation and management of GUI Mac applications such as Google Chrome and Adium. Homebrew-cask provides a friendly homebrew-style CLI workflow for the administration of Mac applications distributed as binaries. It’s implemented as a homebrew external command called cask. Let’s try it! $ brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask $ brew cask install google-chrome => Downloading => Success! google-chrome installed to /opt/homebrew-cask/ Caskroom/google-chrome/stable-channel => Linking Google Chrome.app to / Users/phinze/ Applications/ Google Chrome.app And there we have it. Google Chrome installed with a few quick commands: no clicking, no dragging, no dropping. $ open ~/ Applications/ Google Chrome.app Learn More Questions? Wanna chat? We’re really rather friendly!
