Mac users cannot install the latest version of SOFA and I suspect the package for SOFA 1.4.6 doesn&#8217;t work on modern Mac systems. So it is probably time to package SOFA 1.5.1 for contemporary Mac systems. Hence the call for community help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have managed to make a Windows package using pyinstaller and hopefully it will be relatively easy for a Mac developer with packaging skills (and already-installed software dependencies) to pick up the spec file and create a functional package for other Mac users. Obviously I would be willing to assist but without community help there won&#8217;t be a version of SOFA available for Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is this something you could help with &#8211; possibly in conjunction with a few other volunteers? I would be happy to add credits to the downloads page so people could recognise your input in making SOFA available on Mac.
