Using a prebuilt app package ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. _macprebuilt: The recommended way to install RAW on Mac is using a prebuilt app package. To install from a prebuilt app package simply download the :file:`RAW-{x}.{y}.{z}-mac-{platform}.dmg` (where :file:`{x}.{y}.{z}` is the version number and :file:`{platform}` is x86_64 for Intel macs and arm64 for Apple Silicon macs) file from sourceforge ( `https://sourceforge.net/projects/bioxtasraw `_), double click it to open the dmg, and drag the :file:`RAW.app` file to your Applications folder (or wherever you want to install RAW). Direct links fo the downloads: * `Apple Silicon macs (M1 or newer chips) `_ * `Intel macs (pre-M1 chips) `_ **Important Notes:** * With some version of the RAW installer, you may get a warning message the first time you run the program. If that happens, right click on RAW and select :menuselection:`Open` from the right click menu, and then click the :guilabel:`Open` button in the window that appears. * *Note:* This requires administrator permissions.
