OS X Mountain Lion
ENVI 5.0 and OS X 10.8 installation
ENVI 5.0 requires additional packages not included in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Java – ENVI has required Java for years. The ENVI installer will prompt the user and download it as part of ENVI installation.
X11 – X11 is no longer included with Mountain Lion, but the installer will prompt the user to manually download X11 v2.7.2 or later from http://xquartz.macosforge.org
Installing X11 using the installer defaults seems to work for most users. v2.7.4 was tested and does seem to work.

Install Sophos on Mac OS 10.8
By default, Mac OS 10.8 only allows users to install applications from ‘verified sources’. BOL downloads are not verified; therefore, upon installation you will receive the error message: “Downloaded Program.mpkg” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.
To allow the installation:
Go to System Preferences—> Security & Privacy
Click on the lock icon in the bottom, left corner and enter the Admin password
In the General Tab, under the header “Allow applications downloaded from:”, choose Anywhere.
