So I'm trying to install Standard ML/NJ on a Mac running Yosemite. I download the installer for Mac OS X PPC and try to install. I get an error saying

"The installation failed. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

So I googled around and found this workaround:

I can't seem to access my /usr folder though. Any recs?

Thanks for the help, bclayman

    Are you sure you need the PPC binary? Try this download link: http://smlnj.cs.uchicago.edu/dist/working/110.78/smlnj-x86-110.78.pkg Another option might be to install Homebrew, and then install SML/NJ from Homebrew. – Ionuț G. Stan Jun 01 '15 at 15:15

The installer did not worked for me either.

What I did was

  1. Install Homebrew on OSX.
  2. Open terminal and enter

brew install smlnj

Hope this helps everybody.
