Hi there,

I'm downloading SAC onto my laptop, which runs on Mac OS 10.12.6. In the
README document I see that it says SAC will run on earlier versions of Mac
OS X, e.g. 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9. It also says that "Other platforms or
operating systems must be built from the source code." Does this mean that
with my newer operating system, I will need to build from the source code?
And what does that entail?

Thank you,

Mel Zhang

    Hi Mel,

    I downloaded the SAC binary package for mac and can successfully run it on my mac 10.14.2. I believe it can also run on you laptop.

    Best,
    Dongdong

    Hi Mel,
    Unlikely. I run SAC on 10.13 without issues and did not build it from the
    source code.
