Good guide, but maybe add how you need to make sure the right java options are set prior to all of this. Btw, I have a mac and the program I used to unzip is Stuffit Expander.

The guide can already be found on the rsbots.net website :/

Also, I would recommend a free expander called The Unarchiver. Works great for all extractor needs.

i type in the command after "cd desktop/botclient" perfectly (i even copied and pasted it), it just comes up with "no such file or directory found"
Ive used this guide to install the bot client before, what seems to be the problem? its the 21st April 2011 (easter event)

Are you positive the folder is called "botclient" on your desktop? It says no such file is found meaning there isn't a folder called botclient on your desktop most likely. For reference, these are the commands I must put to open the client (not my real name and I renamed the folder bot.):

cd /Users/johnsmith/Desktop/bot
./run.sh
./install-mac-linux.sh

You must enter the 3rd command after every update and then enter the 2nd command as normal.
