How to Install the Platform on Mac OS
The trading platform can be installed and used on computers that run Mac OS using
Wine. Wine is a free and open source software application that aims to allow
applications designed for Microsoft Windows to run on Unix-like operating systems.
One of the Wine versions is designed for Mac OS.
Note that Wine is not a fully stable application. This means that some functionsin the applications you start under it may work improperly or not work at all.
The easiest way to install the trading platform is download the ready-made package
from the official website. Install the platform similarly to any other application — dragthe platform icon to Applications and wait for the installation to complete.

The trading platform for Mac OS supports the Apple M1 chip and works reliably on
any system version including Ventura.

The installation package is compiled using CrossOver technology. This platform isbased on Wine, but unlike other projects and Wine itself, CrossOver is a commercialproduct. Therefore, its development is much faster: the environment is optimized forbetter performance of Windows applications, while detected errors are quickly fixed.
In contrast to "pure" Wine, CrossOver has more specialized nature as it is aimed atsupporting the most popular office and other Windows applications. Compatibility
with these applications is extensively tested and debugged, so they tend to run morestable than in Wine. The trading platform is among these applications.

You do not need to have CrossOver on your computer to install the platform from theready-made DMG package. Accordingly, its use is absolutely free. You do not need todownload any additional components or make any complex adjustments. Theplatform is immediately ready to go after being installed from the package.
