A installation guide would be great. I'm trying to install it and I don't know what to do with the mbin file. When click on it says something about connectfour application missing.

mbin most likely refers to "MacBinary" (a format used to preserve the Mac resource fork when a file is passed around online/on non-Mac file systems)

  • Indeed, I use .mbin for MacBinary, as the more conventional .bin is overloaded with other meanings.

    I also use .mbim for MacBinary+, which encodes a directory tree instead of a single file.

    • I've tried different versions of Macbinary without luck, maybe I'm missing something.

The mbin file can be opened with StuffIt Expander, it contains the installer application.

  • Stuffit extract the installer but it doesn't do anything, I don't know what I'm missing.

    • I was also using Stuffit (5.5) originally, but I just gave it a try with good ol' standalone MacBinaryⅢ and that worked too. It should go like this: https://imgur.com/a/YKd4Zvs (first three screenshots)

      Once it says Done you can trash the installer. There will be a new folder in the same location as the installer, and within that folder you can run `MacRelix`.

      The last two screenshots are me using the `sbin/upgrade` script from within the first Relix flavor to fetch a second Relix flavor.
