Not sure why its asking me what language I want to use but the result is just the creation of some giberrish language file.

I assume what's happening is that your OS is trying to open the .NET executable as an archive (because PE executables, .exe, are archives). AML doesn't officially support MacOS, because it's tied to Steam and only ships a steam_api64.dll for Windows 64-bit.

Folks have had success with Wine for Linux in #171, maybe Wine can be a workaround here too.

@RevZero Does it make sense to keep this issue open for MacOS support?

@robojumper I will close this. I do not think there is much demand to run AML on Mac OS and it will "never" be natively supported. If there is a known workaround to run AML on MacOS, it should probably just go to the FAQ.
