-  We don't currently provide a macOS installer program, so you will need to add the command to you path manually. The script you should use to launch Jalview is linked to as
-  <pre>/Applications/Jalview.app/Contents/MacOS/jalview</pre>
-  so you can run that command with its full path, or make your own symbolic link to there, or add that folder to your <code>$PATH</code>.

-      If you cannot see the
-      <code>jalview</code>
-      command in the MacOS directory, then you probably have an older
-      Jalview installation. In that case, you should make a symbolic
-      link directly to the launch script with the command
-    <pre>ln -s /Applications/Jalview.app/Content/Resources/app/bin/jalview.sh jalview</pre>

+			This adds the directory
+			&quot;/Applications/Jalview.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/&quot;
+			to a &quot;Jalview&quot; file in the /etc/paths.d/ directory. The
+			lines from all the files in this directory are added the $PATH

 <!--  <p><em>Future</em></p>
   A future version of Jalview will include a tool to allow adding these "<code>jalview</code>" links to your <code>PATH</code> automatically.
