Installation
Step 1. Download MintakaCommander
Download the appropriate version from:
Windows version Download MintakaCommander.exe
Mac version Download MintakaCommander.zip
The PC version requires Java version 1.7 or later and is available from Oracle if needed. The Mac version includes a Java Runtime.
Copy the downloaded file to your location of choice.
To connect a Duo to the computer you will need the USB drivers for your computer, as outlined in the next step.
Step 2. Check for USB drivers and install if needed
Connect your Duo to the computer using a mini USB to standard USB cable. At this point we learn if you have or do not have the needed USB drivers installed on your computer.
• If you had previously connected the Duo to the computer using CoolTerm or DuoCommand, then the drivers are already installed, and you can open MintakaCommander at this point.
• If you are running a PC (Win 7 or newer) that is connected to the Internet, then usually the Windows OS will recognize that you need drivers when you first connect the Duo to the PC, and it will go online, find them, and install them.
• If it does not find them, or you are running a Mac, we need to install the drivers manually, by downloading and running the appropriate driver installer program:
Download Windows_usb-serial_driver_installer.exe.
Download Mac_usb-serial_driver_installer.dmg.
Unzip the file in your downloads folder and run the installer. This takes just a minute or two, but you may have to restart your computer.
