Running Pythagoras on Apple Mac Devices

Pythagoras is a Windows OS application and cannot run natively on Apple Mac devices. However, you can use Boot Camp or virtualization applications to run Pythagoras on a Mac with an Intel processor.

Boot Camp (Recommended Solution)

• Installation: Use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows on your Mac. Follow the guide here.
• Support: Contact your local Apple dealer for help with Windows 10 and Boot Camp installation.
• Performance: Boot Camp offers the best Windows-on-Mac experience with optimal OpenGL support and performance. Note that you need to restart your device to switch between macOS and Windows.

Virtualization Applications

Virtualization applications allow you to run Windows OS on a Mac as a separate application. This means you can use macOS and launch a virtualization app to run Windows.

• Applications: Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion are popular choices.
• Limitations:
  • Limited OpenGL support - limited to 2D use.
  • Different menu structures.
  • Performance issues due to simultaneous use of macOS and Windows.

Responsibility: The performance of Pythagoras in virtualization applications depends on the developers of these applications. If performance issues arise, they are the responsibility of the virtualization software developers.

VMware Fusion

Limitations: Limited OpenGL support and performance issues due to simultaneous OS use.

More Info: VMware Fusion.

Parallels Desktop

Limitations: Disappearing menu structures, limited OpenGL support, and performance issues.

More Info: Parallels Desktop.
