Thanks to Christoph (@chs_sch), who built a DMG of the AYAB software v0.8. These instructions are a modified version of the instructions available here. This set of instructions has been tested on multiple computers running macOS 10.11 and 10.12.


Instructions:

1. Install XCode from the Mac App Store.

  • On your Mac: From the  menu in your menu bar, select "App Store..."
  • Use the search box in the upper right corner of the App Store window to find Xcode, and then install the program.


2. Open XCode to agree to the XCode license


3. Install Homebrew, by following the directions on the front page of that site.


4. Install Qt 4.8, by typing the following line in the terminal:

brew install cartr/qt4/qt


5. Install libtiff, by typing the following line in the terminal:

brew install libtiff


6. Download the AYAB software disk image (DMG file) from here


7. Open up the DMG on your computer, copy the “AyabMac” to your Applications folder, and open it.
