Install GDC on macOS

Procedure for installing GDC on macOS™.

Before you begin

The installation and licensing of Genero products requires you to read and accept the End User License Agreement, which can be found on the Four Js website at http://4js.com/end-user-license-agreements/.

Review the GDC system requirements.

You need a macOS and an user account which has administrator access level.

You need the GDC .dmg package. For example: fjs-gdc-3.xx.xx-buildxxxxxx-m64xxxx.dmg, where the "x" are placeholders for version and build numbers.

Genero packages for Apple® Mac® and the macOS operating system are provided as x86 packages, which are designed to run on Intel® processors. Rosetta enables a Mac with Apple silicon to use apps built for a Mac with an Intel processor. If you are using such a machine, you will be asked to install Rosetta the first time you install or open your Genero app. Rosetta works automatically in the background whenever you use an app that was built only for Mac computers with an Intel processor. It translates the app for use with Apple silicon. If Rosetta is already installed, you are not asked to install it again.
