To this end I have downloaded Minim Server program onto Mac Mini, together with the appropriate Java software. Current music library in iTunes.

I have so far failed to get your musical note icon to turn Green. It turns blue when stopped, briefly Yellow on rescan, but never Green. I have looked at the forums but nothing as basic as "Just Getting Started” Can you help with what I am missing?

Welcome to the MinimServer forum!

The installation instructions for Mac are on this page. Step 7 of this section describes the icon colours for Mac, which aren't the same as the colours for Windows and Linux. It sounds like your icon is transparent, which means MinimServer is running correctly. There is a fuller description of what the icon colours mean in this section, which I have recently updated to clarify the icon colours for Mac.

The next step is to browse your library using a UPnP control point and play your music on a UPnP renderer. You can find some suggestions for suitable control points and renderers in this section and this section.

If you have any more questions, please post them here.
