Installing Horizon Collaborate
By default, your downloads should go to your Mac’s ‘Downloads’ folder. Follow these steps to get Horizon Collaborate up and running on your Mac device:
Step 1: Press the Apple button/⌘ + Space Bar to open Spotlight
Then type ‘Downloads’ and press Enter.
Troubleshooting:
- If you are using a European keyboard, your Apple button will be a Windows key.
- Alternatively, if you are having trouble accessing Spotlight by following the steps above, you can open Finder and select ‘Downloads’ from your favourites.
You’ll see the application within your ‘Downloads’ folder. For Mac, the extension .exe is not valid, and so here you will see a .dmg installer instead.
Step 2: Double-click the .dmg file
Double-clicking the .dmg file will verify that your application is compatible with your Mac operating system. When the file has completed this process, you will see the following window:
Step 3: Drag the Horizon Collaborate icon into the ‘Applications’ folder
By doing this you are adding Horizon Collaborate to your Mac’s list of known applications, allowing you to simply open the app in the future when you want to start using it.
If you happen to have your ‘Applications’ folder open already, you will see the Horizon Collaborate app being added.
Step 4: Logging in to Horizon Collaborate
