Download

This version uses at most x2 memory space in comparison with previous versions. If it stops due to memory shortage, try version 7.222.
mafft-7.222-mac.zip (runs on MacOSX 10.5-10.10, x86 and probably PPC)

Installation

Open a Terminal window (Finder → Applications → Utilities → Terminal).

Unzip the package in any folder you like.

$ cd /somewhere/
$ unzip mafft-7.310-mac.zip

The mafft-mac folder is generated. This folder has the mafft.bat script and the mafftdir subfolder.
```
$ cd /somewhere/
$ ls -F
mafft-mac/
$ cd mafft-mac/
$ ls -F
mafft.bat*    mafftdir/
```
If you want to move the installation to another location, just move the entire mafft-mac folder to the new location.

Usage

Run the mafft.bat script with the full path.

% /somewhere/mafft-mac/mafft.bat input.txt > output.txt

Aliases (mafft-linsi, etc) are not available. Full options have to be given. For example, to run mafft-linsi,
```
% /somewhere/mafft-mac/mafft.bat --localpair --maxiterate 100 input.txt > output.txt
```
