How To Install Quartz Composer

Quartz Composer is an awesome realtime graphics tool, and comes free with OS X 10.4 and up.

To install, run the XCode Tools installer from your System Install Disc. If you’re not going to be developing applications, then you can do a custom install of just the ‘Developer Tools Software’ package, which requires the BSD Package and the Mac OS X SDK Package (all on your Disc).

Once installed, you can find it in HD > Developer > Applications > Graphics Tools > Quartz Composer.

My First-Run Recommendations:

Hit ‘Cancel’ on the New Composition from Template screen, go to Preferences, and choose At application startup: Do nothing. Go to File > New to open up a new blank template, and click ‘Heirarchy Browser” to simplify your screen a bit.

Now you’re ready to get started.
