 +=== Mac users === 
 +Running SPACAR on macOS for the first time may trigger [[https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491|Gatekeeper]], displaying a message that ''spacar.mexmaci64'' cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. This is to be expected and can be dealt with by clicking Cancel (not Move to Trash). Then, go to System Preferences, Security & Privacy, tab General, and click Open Anyway. Now, again run ''spacarexample.m'' in MATLAB. The same message may appear once more for ''getfrsbf.mexmaci64''; follow the same steps. After that, SPACAR should run.

 To keep all files of the SPACAR software bundle together, the ''spacar'' folder was created within the ''userpath'' in a previous step. It is recommended to keep user scripts for a particular model //out// of this folder, and store those at ''[userpath]\myscript.m'' (or within a separate folder ''[userpath]\mymodel\myscript.m''). To keep all files of the SPACAR software bundle together, the ''spacar'' folder was created within the ''userpath'' in a previous step.
