Note that Wine is not a fully stable application. This means that some functions in the applications you start under it may work improperly or not work at all. |
The easiest way to install the trading platform is download the ready-made package from the official website. Install the platform similarly to any other application — drag the platform icon to Applications and wait for the installation to complete.
The trading platform for Mac OS supports the Apple M1 chip and works reliably on any system version including Big Sur.
The installation package is compiled using CrossOver technology. This platform is based on Wine, but unlike other projects and Wine itself, CrossOver is a commercial product. Therefore, its development is much faster: the environment is optimized for better performance of Windows applications, while detected errors are quickly fixed. In contrast to 'pure' Wine, CrossOver has more specialized nature as it is aimed at supporting the most popular office and other Windows applications. Compatibility with these applications is extensively tested and debugged, so they tend to run more stable than in Wine. The trading platform is among these applications.
You do not need to have CrossOver on your computer to install the platform from the ready-made DMG package. Accordingly, its use is absolutely free. You do not need to download any additional components or make any complex adjustments. The platform is immediately ready to go after being installed from the package.
