MacOS version support #97

Open hjimenez-ni opened 3 weeks ago

I tried installing the latest release 2024.05.29 on my old MBP 15" Mid-2015 (Intel-based). The latest supported OS for this Mac is Monterey 12.7.5.

I got an error because the .pkg is not supported in my OS. I also tried installing an older release (early 2021) without luck. Where can I find a MacOS compatibility chart for the releases? (I was not able to find one in my search through the repo).

Thanks a lot for the support and great contribution to the SDR community.

Radioconda's macOS support necessarily follows that of conda-forge, from which the packages are built. Conda-forge strives for wide compatibility, and should currently be compatible with macOS versions back to 10.13. Older releases I think had support back to 10.9. Regardless, they all should work fine with anything newer like 12.7.5.

You said you have an Intel Mac. Can you confirm that you've tired the x86_64 version of the package? Do you have better luck if you use the command line installer? I don't have a Mac and so have never tested any of this personally on those systems, but this is the first report I've heard about something not working so I'd definitely like to figure out what's going on.

The "caution" banner at the top of this page, which should also apply to radioconda, may also be relevant for you: https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/macos.html
