Using the WiFi icon in your menu bar at the top of the screen, select "Create Network..." and create a network named **attwifi** and make sure to set *Security* to **None** (you can ignore the Channel option). 4. Open **System Preferences**, then select **Sharing**. Select **Internet Sharing**, then set "Share your connection from:" to **Ethernet**, and check off **WiFi** in the "To computers using" box. Finally, check off **Internet Sharing** and click **Start** at the prompt. 5. Open **Terminal** (in your Applications folder under *Utilities*), and navigate to the location you placed **relaymyhome** -- if you put it in **Documents**, then in *Terminal* type: **cd ~/Documents** -6. **IMPORTANT**: At this point, you need to know which interface your WiFi is on. For most modern Apple laptops, this will be en1 (if your laptop has a wired Ethernet port as well as WiFi) or en0 (if you have a WiFi-only laptop, such as the MacBook Air). This guide does not cover the specifics of how to find this interface, since it differs by model of Mac. 7. If this is the first time you are running the script, in Terminal enter the command: **chmod +x relaymyhome** -8. (Note for this step: we assume your WiFi is on interface en1. If it is on en0 which will be common for the MacBook Air or any Mac without a wired network port, use en0 instead of en1 wherever you see it in this step. For Mac Pros, you'll want to use en2 instead of en1.) -- Now type **./relaymyhome en1** and you should see the script do its thing. If you get an error that stops the script, something went wrong. The script takes about 20-30 minutes to run, after which you should have a list full of StreetPass hits on your 3DS. -9. After at least eight (8) hours have passed, repeat steps 3-8 to get a new set of StreetPass hits. You can also run the script a second time immediately, but you will likely only get a few hits on the second run. +8. Now type **./relaymyhome full** and you should see the script do its thing. If you get an error that stops the script, something went wrong. The script takes about 20 minutes to run, after which you should have a list full of StreetPass hits on your 3DS. +9. Once you have greeted your new visitors in the StreetPass Plaza, you can run the script again to get another batch of StreetPasses. You should be able to run the script at least a dozen times before you will need to wait for the eight hour cooldown on hitting the same relay twice. Credits =======
