Install OCTGN on a Mac and get it running via Wine

Disclosure: These instructions are provided as-is. I don't take any responsibility for things that might go wrong (though the worst thing that could happen should be that OCTGN just won't run). I don't have time to support you if things don't work, unfortunately. But hopefully you'll get OCTGN running without needing to use a virtual machine like Parallels or VirtualBox.

Statements like these are commands to be run in the terminal. You should be fine just copying and pasting, just don't miss any characters.

  1. Download OCTGN: http://octgn.net/Home/GetOctgn
  2. Launch Terminal.app
  3. Install Homebrew (a package manager for OS X) /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
  4. Install git brew install git
  5. If asked to install Command Line Tools, klick yes. Else xcode-select --install
  6. Install XQuarts brew cask install xquartz
