-== Client download ==
To download the latest TSM client for Mac, open the [[OrchardSoftwareCentre|Orchard Software Centre]] and type "TSM" into the search box in the top right and hit Enter. You should then see a screen similar to the following:

Click the {{{Install}}} button and wait for the software to install. When it is done it will pop up an information box. If this is the first time you installed the TSM client on your machine, it will prompt you for your TSM node:
