rm aMule-App-Container.tar.bz2

15) the following line is just in case the app container failed to extract mkdir -p amule.app/Contents/MacOS/

cp aMule-2.0.0rc7/src/amule amule.app/Contents/MacOS/

16) move amule to your Applications folder mv amule.app /Applications

If you get an error like this: You cannot open the application "amule" because it may be damaged or incomplete, right click on amule then click on Show Packages Contents, go to Contents>MacOS> and double click on amule. Next time you start from amule.app it will run fine. If you still get the same error, move amule.app to the desktop and run it from there.
