Tips:
- on Mac OS X Lion, wget doesn't work. Use curl -O instead of wget.
- if in the last step, when you try to run xmgrace, you get the following error:$ xmgrace
Can't open display
Failed initializing GUI, exiting
you can try:$ DISPLAY=:0.0 xmgrace
if it doesn’t solve the problem, you need to open XQuartz and then enter the following command: $ DISPLAY=:0.0 xmgrace
