MacOS

MacOS is an operating system developed by Apple Computer for Mac computers. It has been known variously over the years as "Mac OS X," "OS X," and the current "macOS." When discussing the system in general, "macOS" will be used; for references to specific versions of macOS, the form in use for that version will be used whenever possible.

GnuCash 2.6.21 is the last version that supports OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and earlier, and is the last version that will run on PowerPC Macs.

OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) or higher is required to run Gnucash-3.0 and later.

For virtually all users it is more appropriate to download the binary rather than to use the procedure described here.
