Installing Inkscape

Since version 0.43, the Inkscape deliverable has been a disk image with a properly packaged Mac OS X Bundle -- Inkscape.app. You can simply drag the Inkscape icon to where is most convenient for you, usually your Applications folder or possibly your Desktop. This hardly warrants the grandiose title or style of "installing", but it does mean that un-installing is simple and complete -- just drag the icon to the Trash when you are finished with Inkscape and no longer want it.

From version 0.44, the disk image will have an alias to the Applications folder, allowing you to very easily drop the Inkscape icon into the most useful place for it, and open that folder so that you can start Inkscape.

Otherwise start Inkscape by double clicking one of its documents and it will thereafter be available to you in the Dock and fron the "Recent Items" menu-item.
