Hello,
When I download the DSSR executable for MacOS, I only get the following text file whose contents are unintelligible. How can I get the correct download in order to install DSSR? Please advise; your help is much appreciated!
Thank you very much.

Hi,
Please check the following two things:
- The .dms extension (thus x3dna-dssr.dms instead of the intended x3dna-dssr) is added by Safari on macOS. Using the Google Chrome browser won't have the problem. To avoid confusion, you could simply remove the extra extension by: mv x3dna-dssr.dms x3dna-dssr
- Change the access permissions of the downloaded x3dna-dssr file, by using the chmod (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod) u+x command option to make it executable. Then DSSR should work -- check it out: x3dna-dssr -h
I've updated the DSSR User Manual (http://docs.x3dna.org/dssr-manual.pdf) with a note on the extra .dms on macOS. Please read it and let me know if anything is still unclear.
HTH,
Xiang-Jun
