After you've downloaded CrossOver check out our YouTube tutorial video to the left, or visit the CrossOver Chrome OS walkthrough for specific steps. Sierra Chart can be run on GNU/Linux, BSD, and Mac OS X using Wine. To use Sierra Chart on Mac computers, refer to Using Sierra Chart on the Mac Operating Systems. Sierra Chart support and engineering does not provide any help with or answer any questions related to running Sierra Chart on other operating systems using Wine. Yes you can run NinjaTrader 8 on a mac but it requires you to run some virtualization software as a layer between the NinjaTrader program and the Mac OS. Sorry Mac users, but NinjaTrader 8 can’t run directly on a Mac (you can using virtualization software), and it doesn’t appear that this is going to change any time in the near future because mac software has to be created for mac’s.

The client terminal can be installed and run on computers with Mac OS using Wine. Wine is a free software that allows users of the Unix-based systems to run an application developed for the Microsoft Windows systems. Among all the Wine versions there is one for Mac OS.

Note that Wine is not a fully stable application. Thus, some functions in the applications you start under it may work improperly or not work at all.

For the installation on Mac OS we recommend to use the free application PlayOnMac. PlayOnMac is a Wine-based software for easy installation of Windows applications on Mac OS.

PlayOnMac Installation

To install PlayOnMac, open the product's official web site, move to Downloads section and click the link for downloading the latest version.

After downloading the DMG package, launch it from Downloads section of your system:

PlayOnMac first launch window will appear. After clicking 'Next', the installer will start checking and installing the various components necessary for work.

The first necessary component is XQuartz. This is a software for using X Window System on Mac OS. X Window System provides standard tools and protocols for building the graphical user interface in Unix-like OS.

If you have already installed XQuartz or want to install it later, select 'Don't install XQuartz for the moment' or 'I've downloaded file by myself', respectively.

XQuartz installation is performed in several stages. First of all, you should read the important information (Read Me) and accept the license conditions.

Before the installation, Mac OS security system will ask you to enter your account's password:

Wait for the installation to complete. For changes to take effect, you should restart your PC.

After restarting the system, launch PlayOnMac again from the setup file in Downloads folder. The first launch window will appear again. This time, the installer will offer to install MS Windows fonts necessary for correct operation.

Accept the license agreement conditions and wait till the installation is complete. After that, PlayOnMac is ready for use. Its main window will appear:

Updating Wine

Wine v. 1.4 is installed together with PlayOnMac. Wine 1.4.1 is the latest stable version at the moment. Wine 1.5.21 beta release containing many improvements is also available for download. However, it may be less stable. It is recommended to install the latest version of Wine.
