There is a separate XModules installer for Windows, Mac and Linux. The installer includes the latest FileAccess, RealUser Simulation and DesktopAutomation XModules. Their version numbers are:
Anything with the Mac OS X Installer: To unmount the hard disk, you need to boot into something that will give you access to a different copy of Mac OS X, such as the Mac OS X Installer. This could be a Unibeast USB drive, Kakewalk USB drive, myHack USB drive, Snow Leopard installation DVD, xMove partition, or even a cloned copy of your hard disk.

I have not tested this with the GMA 950 GPU. Only use Multibeast and Xmove, if you wish to install 10.7 on a PC, to create a Hackintosh setup.
- FileAccess XModule: V1.0.12
- RealUser XModule: V1.0.20
- DesktopAutomation XModule: V1.0.19
The XModules work with UI.Vision for Firefox, UI.Vision for Chrome and the Copyfish Free OCR addon. So if you use one or more of our extensions, you need to install the XModules only once.
We tested on the following OS systems, but others should work as well. Please report any issues in the forum.
- Windows: Win 10, Win 7, Server 2016, Server 2019
- macOS: High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina
- Linux: Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 19.04, Ubuntu 20.04
The XModules installers do not include the UI.Vision browser extension itself. You can download the UI Vision core module here:

How to install on Windows
Just run the setup file, it takes care of everything. All installations are done in your user account, so no admin rights are required. To test that everything works correctly, switch UI.Vision RPA to file storage mode. The screencast below shows the installation process:
As an optional last step, you can customize the UI.Vision home folder location. By default, UI.Vision RPA uses ' /uivision' as the UI.Vision RPA home directory. If you want to change this, open the UI.Vision RPA browser extension, open 'Settings', go to the 'XModule' tab and enter a new UI.Vision RPA Home folder - macros, testsuites and CSV files will be stored in this folder.
In some companies the download of EXE installers/files is blocked. If this happens to you, please use the ZIP file download link. To install from the ZIP archive, unzip the archive and then run '1install.bat'. This is almost the same procedure that is used in the macOS and Linux versions below.
How to install on macOS
First extract the content of the downloaded ZIP archive to a folder of your choice. Then open a command prompt and navigate to this folder.
(1.) Run the included shell script '1install.sh'. You do this by opening the terminal, navigate to the folder to which you copied the files and type
sh 1install.sh
You should then see a few messages that say 'Native messaging host... installed'
The installation is done now!
sh 1install.sh
You should then see a few messages that say 'Native messaging host... installed'
The installation is done now!
Do not move the XModules folder after the installation. The reason is that the installation script tells Chrome and/or Firefox where to find the the XModules. The files itself are not copied to a new location. So if you would move the folder, UI.Vision RPA would report the XModules as uninstalled, as it can not find them any longer. If you want to move the location of the folder later, it is best if you first run the uninstall scripts in the old location and then run the 1install.sh installation script again in the new location.
(2.) (Optional) As the last step you can customize the UI.Vision RPA home folder location. By default, UI.Vision RPA uses ' /uivision' as the UI.Vision RPA home directory. If you want to change this, open the UI.Vision RPA browser extension, open 'Settings', go to the 'XModule' tab and enter a new UI.Vision RPA Home folder - macros, testsuites and CSV files will be stored in this folder. To test that everything works correctly, switch UI.Vision RPA to file storage mode.
macOS Mojave: Since the Mojave update macOS has a new security feature. All apps that can control the mouse and keyboard - like the UI.Vision RPA RealUser XModule - need explicit permissions to do so. To add these permissions, go to Settings > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility option and add allow Chrome and/or Firefox to control your computer. Since UI.Vision RPA 'lives' inside the browsers, the browsers are the apps that need to be added to the accessibility dialog. The FileAccess XModule does not need these permissions.
UI.Vision RPA to control your Mac (RealUser module only)'>
The first time you use a realuser command (XClick, XMove,...) your Mac will ask you to add Chrome and/or Firefox to the accessibility menu. But it does this only once. If you missed the dialog the first time, future realuser commands will fail silently and you need to give Chrome/Firefox the required permissions manually (as shown in the screenshot above).
macOS Catalina: With the Catalina update (10.15) macOS got a new security feature called notarization. In addition to the steps described for Mojave above, you need to explicitly allow the XModules to control the mouse and keyboard of your system. Here is how to do it:
The video and this forum post shows how to enable the XModules on Catalina . This is a one time task. Once all three XModules are allowed to run, everything works fine. Note that unlike in the video, the XModules are meanwhile code-signed and verified by Apple. So the 'developer can not be verified' warning dialog (as seen in the video) no longer shows. We are a registered Apple developer.
macOS Big Sur: Big Sur and the new M1 processor are fully supported. Everything works just as with Catalina.
How to install on Linux
First extract the content of the downloaded ZIP archive to a folder of your choice. Then open a command prompt and navigate to this folder.
Important: Please make sure that the extracted files are executable. If they are not, you need to make them executable with chmod +x before running the 1install.sh script.
(1.) Run the included shell script '1install.sh'. You do this by opening the terminal, navigate to the folder to which you copied the files and type
bash 1install.sh
You should then see messages that say 'Native messaging host... installed'
The installation is done now.
bash 1install.sh

Any OSx86 installation guide can seem daunting at first glance, especially when trying to remember cryptic terminal commands and sorting through volumes of misinformation on the web. This guide requires no coding, terminal work, or Mac experience of any kind.
Because Apple is only distributing OS X Lion through the Mac App Store, we had to rethink our retail installation method. What follows is our recommendation for the easiest, cleanest and most Mac-like installation process. For best results, follow this guide to the letter.
This guide is for the Retail OS X Lion App downloaded from the Mac App Store.
A System Running Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later with:
- Intel Core 2 or above, 64 bit CPU
- Mac App Store Account + $29.99
- Internet Access to Download 4GB OS X Lion App through Mac App Store
- 4GB space available in /Applications
- 8GB additional free space on your hard drive
- Mac Pro 3,1 system definition and the latest Chimera Bootloader from MultiBeast
Don’t have Snow Leopard yet? To install Mac OS X Snow Leopard from the Retail DVDfollow iBoot + MultiBeast.
1. Boot into your existing Snow Leopard installation.
2. Download the OS X Lion App directly from the Mac App Store – it will automatically open.
2. Download the OS X Lion App directly from the Mac App Store – it will automatically open.
3. Click Continue.
4. Target your currently booted Snow Leopard drive and hit Install. This will not install the OS or affect this drive in any way. It will simply install the files necessary to do so later in the process.
5. Click Restart to reboot.
1. Boot back into your existing Snow Leopard installation.
2. Open /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
2. Open /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
3. Highlight your Snow Leopard drive in left column.
4. Choose the Partition tab, and Click the + to Add a Partition.
5. Name the secondary partition Installer with a size of 8 GB and click Apply.
STEP 3: xMove
2. Double-Click xMove, and choose Installer as Destination.
WARNING: DO NOT choose existing Snow Leopard as the Destination.
Do not interrupt the process- it will only take a few minutes. When done, you’ll have a secondary partition on your drive containing the OS X Lion Installer!
If xMove fails, you haven’t installed the Lion App to your currently booted drive– and it cannot find the necessary files. A quick way to remedy this is to manually mount the InstallESD.dmg and run xMove again.

STEP 4: Boot Installer & Install OS X Lion
1. Reboot- at the Chimera boot screen, choose Installer
2. It will boot directly to a familiar Mac OS X Installer complete with Disk Utility.
3. Install OS X Lion over existing Snow Leopard or onto any empty drive or partition.
2. It will boot directly to a familiar Mac OS X Installer complete with Disk Utility.
3. Install OS X Lion over existing Snow Leopard or onto any empty drive or partition.
If you’ve installed directly over an existing Snow Leopard installation, you’re done! You should already have done proper post-installation steps on your existing Snow Leopard drive, so skip Step 5 and simply reboot into Lion!
STEP 5: MultiBeast
MultiBeast is an all-in-one post-installation tool designed to enable boot from hard drive, and install support for Audio, Network, and Graphics. It contains two different complete post-installation solutions: UserDSDT and EasyBeast. In addition it includes System Utilities to rebuild caches and repair permissions and a collection of drivers, boot loaders, boot time config files and handy software.
Choose one of the following options directly following a fresh installation:
Xmove Cmd
UserDSDT is a bare-minimum solution for those who have their own pre-edited DSDT. Place your DSDT.aml on the desktop before install. Audio, Graphics and Network will have to be enabled separately. Check out our DSDT Database to download your motherboard’s pre-edited DSDT.EasyBeast is a DSDT-free solution for any Core2/Core i system. It installs all of the essentials to allow your system to boot from the hard drive. Audio, Graphics and Network will have to be enabled separately.
