Editor's note: This article is part of our. We also have a. For over a decade, installing the latest major version of Mac OS X meant buying a disc and slipping it into your Mac’s optical drive. Mac OS X 10.7—better known as Lion—is available for direct download. In fact, it’s available only as a download from Apple’s Mac App Store. In many ways, this new method of distribution is easier and more convenient.

But it also raises a number of questions and presents significant upgrade obstacles for some users. Here’s a look at the details of installing Apple’s first-ever download-only OS.

Fair warning: If you install Lion now, keep in mind that you’re installing the very first release. It could be fully baked and bug-free, but if previous debuts of major versions of Mac OS X are any indication, we’ll see the first update, containing a number of bug fixes, within a few weeks. If your Mac is mission-critical—in other words, if downtime is not an option for you—you might consider holding off for the inevitable Mac OS X 10.7.1. Finally, before proceeding, be sure to read my article on, which covers system requirements and recommendations, as well as a number of preparatory tasks that will help make the upgrade go smoothly. For example, you should update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and install the.

Purchasing and downloading Lion Assuming you, getting Lion is easy—with a few caveats, noted below. You simply launch the Mac App Store application, click the Lion banner on the store’s main page (or search for Lion, or click ), click the $29.99 button at the top of the screen, then click the Buy App button that appears. After providing your Apple ID and password, the Lion installer icon will be added to the Dock, and Lion will begin downloading.

Specifically, the 3.8 GB installer application, called Install Mac OS X Lion.app, will be saved to your main Applications folder ( /Applications). On my cable-model connection the morning of Lion's release, the download took approximately 39 minutes. You purchase Lion through the Mac App Store app. (Three quick notes here. First, if you purchased a Mac on or after June 6, 2011, but it didn’t come with Lion pre-installed, you’re entitled to a free copy of Lion. Visit for details. Second, if you're a developer who previously downloaded the 'golden master' GM of the Lion installer, the Mac App Store will claim Lion is 'Installed' on any Snow Leopard Mac—and thus not let you download the official release—if it detects that installer on any connected volume.

The solution is either to delete the GM, after compressing it or copying it to a removable drive if you want to keep it handy, or to disconnect the drive on which the GM resides. Third, if you're trying to download the Lion installer onto a Mac that's already running Lion (either the GM or the official release), the Mac App Store will claim that Lion is already installed and, again, prevent you from downloading it. Try these tricks: Option+click the Buy App button in the Mac App Store. If that doesn't work, switch to the Mac App Store's main page and then Option+click the Purchases button in the toolbar. If that doesn't work, quit the Mac App Store app and then hold down the Option key while launching the Mac App Store again. One of these three procedures should get rid of the 'Installed' status for Lion and let you download it.) If you’ve got multiple Snow Leopard Macs, you can download the installer onto any of them—your purchase of Lion entitles you to install it on any of your authorized Macs. To download the Lion installer on one of these “secondary” Macs, you just launch the Mac App Store application on that Mac, click the Purchases button in the toolbar, and click the Install button next to OS X Lion in the list.

Alternatively, once you’ve downloaded the Lion installer onto one computer, you can copy it—over your local network or by using a flash drive, DVD, or external hard drive—from one Mac to another. You won’t be prompted to authorize the installer on each Mac, as you are with other Mac App Store-distributed software—the Lion installer does not use digital-rights management (DRM), which makes it easy to use one installer to upgrade all the Snow Leopard Macs in your home.

However, there’s a catch here: After downloading the Lion installer to your Mac, if you leave the installer in the Applications folder and use it to install Lion on your Mac’s startup drive, the installer will disappear after installation—it’s summarily deleted as part of the installation process, presumably to free up the nearly 4 GB of drive space it occupies. So if you plan to use that installer on other Macs, and you don’t want to have to download it from the Mac App Store again, be sure to copy the installer to another drive—or at least move it out of the Applications folder— before you install.

Note that unlike all other software sold through the Mac App Store, subsequent updates to Lion will be provided via Software Update, not through the Mac App Store’s update feature. Installing Lion When I, I noted that, compared to installing previous versions of Mac OS X, it was the easiest process yet.

Well, Lion’s installation procedure makes Snow Leopard’s look positively byzantine. Whereas previous versions of OS X let you customize your installation, Lion offers no such choices—other than choosing where to install, you don’t need to make any decisions until it’s time to set things up and start using your Mac. You don’t even need to boot from a different disc or volume—the Lion installer runs as a standard application. The Lion installer if you've opted to show all disks. Once you’ve purchased and downloaded the Lion installer, here are the simple steps involved:. Double-click the Mac OS X Lion Installer application; in the window that appears, click Continue, and then click Agree to agree to the software license agreement. On the next screen, you choose where to install Lion.

By default, only your internal startup drive is listed; if you have other drives connected and want to install Lion onto one of them, click the Show All Disks button and then choose the desired drive. Note that the Lion installer will let you choose any drive that has Snow Leopard installed or any blank drive—the latter is what you would choose if you wanted to do a 'clean' install that contains none of your data, applications, or settings from Snow Leopard. In either case, the destination drive must also be formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and use a GUID Partition Table; the built-in drive on any Mac eligible to run Lion should meet these requirements. (See my to help you decide if it's something you want to do. Also, we have instructions for, assuming you have the right to do so.).

Click Install, and then provide an admin-level username and password. The installer will spend some time preparing for installation; over a number of test installations on a 2010 MacBook Air, this process generally took just a few minutes. You'll see a message in the installer window that “Your computer will restart automatically”; you can continue to work in other applications during this time, but once the preparation phase is finished, you’ll get only a 30-second warning, and then your Mac will indeed restart on its own.

After your Mac restarts, the actual installation occurs. During our test installs on a MacBook Air, this process took 18 to 24 minutes.

When installation finishes, what you’ll see depends on whether you’ve installed Lion on a blank drive or if you’ve installed it on a drive containing Snow Leopard with existing accounts, settings, and data. If you installed onto a blank drive, the first thing you’ll see will be the initial Lion welcome and setup screens, where you choose your country or region, your keyboard layout, and your network connection. You’ll then be asked if you want to transfer accounts and data from another Mac, a Windows PC—yes, Lion now has a Windows-specific migration feature—a Time Machine drive, or another drive.

(Unless you really want to start anew, I’m assuming you’ll want to transfer everything.) After installing Lion on a blank drive, you can transfer your data from another Mac, a Windows PC, another hard drive, or a Time Machine backup. After that, you’ll be asked to enter your Apple ID (if you have one) and registration information and, if you didn’t transfer accounts from another computer or drive or a backup, to create an account (including taking or choosing an account picture).

Finally, after choosing your time zone, you’ll see a Finishing Up screen. If your Mac is a laptop, or if you’ve got a Magic Trackpad or Magic Mouse connected, this window explains how to use Lion’s new and shows a video demonstration of two-finger scrolling. Scroll through the text and click Start Using Mac OS X Lion—or, if you’re using a Mac without a trackpad or Magic Mouse, just click Start Using Mac OS X Lion—and your Mac will finish booting. Lion helpfully explains its new scrolling behavior. For upgrade installs, once you log in to your account (either automatically or via the login screen, depending on how your Mac was configured before the upgrade), you’ll see a Mac OS X Setup Assistant window. Despite the different banner text, this is otherwise the same as the Finishing Up window I described in the previous paragraph. Upgraders may also see a dialog informing you that some of the existing software on your Mac is incompatible with Lion, and listing that software.

(Apple provides more information about such software in.) You’ll usually see this message if you had kernel extensions—low-level software that patches the operating system itself—installed under Snow Leopard that Apple knows won’t work with Lion. It’s also possible to see the incompatible-software dialog if you performed a clean install of Lion and then imported your accounts and data, but it’s less likely—OS X’s Migration Assistant generally doesn’t import kernel extensions and other startup/background processes. In either case, OS X automatically moves this incompatible software to a folder called Incompatible Software at the root level of your startup disk. The first time you boot into Lion after upgrading, you'll see this dialog if the OS has detected known-incompatible software. That’s it—unlike previous OS X installers, Lion's doesn't make you decide what kind of installation you want to do, which language translations or printer drivers to install, or whether or not you’ll ever use X11 or QuickTime 7. The installation procedure is easier and quicker than ever.

Post-install tasks If you’ve upgraded from Snow Leopard, or if you installed Lion onto a blank drive but imported all of your data and settings, chances are you won’t need to do anything else—your Mac will be ready to go. But you may find, despite your, that some of your existing software needs updates. Similarly, if you’ve performed a “clean” install of Lion, you may need to spend a bit of time setting things up, and you'll want to reinstall all your favorite apps. The first thing you’ll want to do is run Software Update (from the Apple menu) and install any pending updates. If you’ve installed Lion in the first few days it’s available, chances are you won’t have any (especially if you ran Software Update beforehand, which means you already have the latest updates to other Apple software), but it can’t hurt to be sure. And if you’ve waited a week or more to install Lion, there’s a good chance Apple will have released a minor update—or will sometime soon. Next you’ll want to set up your printer(s).

Download Lion Operating System For Machine

As with Snow Leopard, Lion doesn’t include a slew of printer drivers. But, like Snow Leopard, Lion can determine which drivers you need and either download them automatically or, using Software Update, help you get them. Open the Print & Scan pane of System Preferences and click the Add (+) button, and you’ll see a list of connected and nearby (Bonjour) printers. Choose one, and OS X will see if drivers are available. In the case of my Brother 7820N, I got a dialog informing me that 'software for this printer is available from Apple'; when I clicked Download & Install, OS X downloaded those drivers, installed them, and automatically set up the printer. (Interestingly, on a Snow Leopard Mac upgraded to Lion, the Print & Scan preference pane alerted me to updated drivers, instructing me to run Software Update to download the new software.) Lion can download the latest drivers for many recent printers.
