Slicer & firmware install

Brand new user getting a head start before printer is delivered next week. Downloaded the Prusa 1.9 Mac version of Slic3r & unzipped it. Ran the app, imported the .ini file & tweaked some parameters as recommended on youtube. Issue: Slic3r doesn't show as an installed app in the Applications folder and it's not listed on Launchpad. The only way I can run it is from the folder where I unzipped it. How can I make it look like an installed app?

The folks at Apple support explained how to 'install' the app. works great.

Jack - I'm having trouble with the firmware update using my Mac. Could you let me know how you installed Slic3r and updated the firmware? Thanks.

Re: Slicer & firmware install

Thank you. I figured out the Slic3r install, and I have followed the manual for the firmware several times at this point. When I upgrade the firmware, I get the message indicated a successful upgrade. When I try to use the printer, the display flashes a sequence of partial messages ... something like "Original Prusa 3D Printer". Sometimes only part of the word "original' shows and nothing else, or sometimes the entire message shows. I can also hear a clicking coming from either the RAMBo or the x-axis motor. The dial does not allow me to access the main menu ... it simply let's me access the option to reset to factory settings.
