For me, this has been the Holy Grail of how I can make my EVE experience on a Mac be the best it possibly can. I have had multiple installs, taking up around 35gb of total hard drive space since I started my fourth account, and I had wondered for a long time if there were a way to run my clients from a single install like using the junction method on Windows.

As mentioned in that Evelopedia article, they suggest two ways of running multiple clients. One is to have multiple installs, like I mentioned I had, and the other is to force OSX to open your single client multiple times through a terminal command.

Option one uses up a lot of hard drive space. Option two can cause potential problems with read/write errors in your preferences.

To that end, I now present you with option three. This is going to be a little long, and maybe a little involved, but overall it is fairly simple.
