Installing software on the Mac computers

You can install optional apps using the Manager application:

When Manager is launched, it will show the Class Manager screen:

You can ignore that page, Click on “Class Manager” and select “Self-Service:

From there you can install any of the apps listed. If there is an app that you need, put in a help desk so the application can be added.

Installing the Cricut software

The new Cricut software can be installed on your Macbook without the administrator password.

Download the application from Cricut and it will show a window to drag the Cricut application to Applications.

This will not work. To install the application it needs to be put in your Applications folder, not the machine’s.

Using the Go menu at the top of the screen, select Go > Home…

Check if you have an Applications folder.

If you don’t, go to File and select New Folder… Name the folder Applications.

Open the Applications folder and drag the Cricut application to it.

If you want the application in your dock, drag the icon from your Applications folder to the dock.

The application is now installed. You’ll be able to run it or update it without requiring the administrator password.
