Installing Slate

Note: You must turn on the Accessibility API!

When Slate starts it asks you if it can enable access for assistive devices. It may fail to do so. You can manually set this by checking System Preferences > Universal Access > Enable access for assistive devices. If you are on Mavericks or Yosemite, you must turn it on by checking Slate in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility.

Homebrew Cask

If you use Homebrew Cask, install the mattr-slate cask:

$ brew cask install mattr-slate
