-2) If everything went okay, you should open your terminal and check mono version::
-
-    $ mono --version

-
-This is the minimal setup you need in order to run Git Extensions.

-Troubleshooting Mac Installation
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-1) If your Git Extensions crashes with an exception that a font is missing (generic sans serif), you probably can fix this by installing Xquartz. This is a version of the X.Org X Windows System that runs on OS X. I am not sure what the side effects are. This can be installed from here: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/
-2) If Git Extensions still crashes because it is unable to load a plugin, empty the plugins folder.
