Revised: 04/20/2023

These instructions describe the process to install the AcctVantage ERP Client Application.

If you want instructions on the AV Server Install process please see this article.

Download the Installer

You will first need to download the AV Client installer (if you haven't done so already). Click on the Mac folder and download the AV 2023 Mac Client.dmg file.

Install Instructions

Depending on which version of macOS you are using, you might see an alert about installing Rosetta. This is required in order to run AV 2023 on newer versions of macOS.

Double-click the DMG file to open it and then double-click the PKG file to run the installer.

Click Install to complete the installation.

  • You may need to enter the password you use to log into macOS to install (this is NOT your AcctVantage password).
  • If you are upgrading your AV Client from a previous version, you may see a message asking if you want to overwrite the files. You are safe to proceed here.
  • If you want to preserve the old AV Client, you will need to rename the folder prior to running the new installer.

Launch the AV Client and connect to the AV Server

Navigate to the  Applications folder and find the AcctVantage ERP Client application. Double-click it to connect to the AV server.

Notes:

  • Since this is the first time this version of the AV client is connecting to the server, you will see some "synchronizing" and "decompressing" progress bars. This is normal and should only occur the first time you launch the client.
  • There is no longer an App Nap setting to disable.
  • File permissions no longer need to be changed.
