Mac requirements for HISE
-
Hi, I'm thinking about buying a second-hand Mac mini (Mac mini (October 2014) Core i5 2.6 GHz - 1TB HDD - 8GB RAM) to compile my HISE projects from Windows on a Mac.
Could anyone tell me what the minimum requirements are to work properly with HISE on macOS?
Besides HISE, I assume I’ll need to install Visual Studio—anything else I should consider?
Thanks a lot! -
If your only use for the Mac is to compile HISE and HISE projects I would say don't bother buying one. Use a virtual machine instead.
Here's a video about compiling on MacOS, you'll need Xcode rather than VS/

@d-healey Yes, I’ve been considering the option of using a virtual machine, but it’s hard for me to find the macOS .iso files. I’m also not sure which version of macOS I actually need.

Thanks a lot!you'd be way better off getting an M1 machine...and you need XCode not VisualStudio.

@lijas90 Any version of MacOS after Mojave is fine, I'm using Ventura. I found Sonoma wouldn't work properly in my VM.
Not sure where you'd find the iso, I'm using a Proxmox system and there's a script that downloads it automatically for me there.
I would just search YouTube for how to setup a MacOS VM and that will probably include links to the iso.

@d-healey Perfect, thank you very much!
