mars-app

The MARS MIPS Simulator/IDE packaged as an OSX app for easy installation/use. Packaging MARS as an app also gives it a more native feel (for example, menus are located in the menubar instead of in the MARS window).

All actual development information can be found on the author's page here: http://courses.missouristate.edu/KenVollmar/MARS/index.htm

This currently mirrors MARS v4.5

Installation:

To install, run the following line in terminal. Once it completes, MARS.app will be located in /Applications.

curl -L https://github.com/sagark/MARS-app/archive/master.zip > master.zip && unzip master.zip -x README.md && mv MARS-app-master/MARS.app /Applications/ && rm -rf MARS-app-master && rm master.zip

If you'd like to be able to access MARS at the command line (using mars), add the following to .bashrc (or your equivalent):

alias mars="/Applications/MARS.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub"

If you're having an odd issue while installing, please ensure that the above lines were correctly copied into Terminal.
