Please note that the Mac OS X version is different from the versions for other operating systems. You won’t find «Screen Capture» module and full-screen mode (on versions prior to OS X Yosemite (version 10.10)) in it.
After installation you won’t find on your desktop the program icon (a feature of the OS). After the installation, the server is added to the autostart, and the client part can be run from the same executable file from which the program was installed.

The “Modbus controllers” feature released in version Xeoma 20.10.13, also does not work under Mac OSX. Please use a different operating system (possibly a virtual machine) to work with the feature.
