Wine equivalent for mac os x mac osx#
Running Digital Micrograph (32-bit) on Linux and Mac OSX is accomplished with the use of Wine, an open source application that allows Unix-like operating systems to execute programs written for Microsoft Windows. This article was written as a guide with easy- to-follow installation instructions to liberate users from the Windows emulation pidgeonhole and enable them to freely analyze data on Unix based systems. However, with the aid of open source resources, it is possible to run DM natively on Linux and Mac OSX (Figure 1). This is not only slow, having to emulate each processor instruction, but also requires installation and licensing of Windows and the virtualization software.
An ad hoc solution to this problem has required a virtualized Windows operating system running on top of the users native operating system. Unfortunately, DM software has been designed to run only on Microsoft Windows operating systems, thus distancing the microscopy community from popular Unix based systems such as Linux or Mac OSX. The offline DM application is freely available from Gatan.
