Where can I download LDraw?

[Orion Pobursky]

I must admit, I was totally confused by this too. Step 1 asks us to download and install the original Ldraw package, adding that "This step cannot be skipped". I did this, only to find myself wondering why there was a .exe file and no .dmg file.  Clicking on Step 2, then, offers the option of downloading either the complete package or just the software. Surely, it seems to me, it would make more sense to have this as step 1?  As a complete neophyte, it wasn't obvious at all to me that the LDraw package didn't contain any actual software.

Hmmm... nope. Still confused, I'm afraid. The video I'm watching speaks of an "LDraw Installation Package" and seems to refer to an actual programme, rather than just a collection of files. Sorry if I'm being a little slow, but what am I missing here?

Well that's 2 people confused so I'll rewrite the instructions. Basically you want to down load complete.zip and unzip it into your home folder. Then download Bricksmith without the library (since the library that comes with it isn't up to date). Copy Bricksmith to your Applications folder and from there, when Bricksmith asks where the LDraw library is point it to the unzipped LDraw folder in your Home folder.
