Chances are, your Mac can run macOS Catalina.
If you’re running High Sierra (10.13), Sierra (10.12) or El Capitan (10.11), upgrade to macOS Catalina from the App Store. If you’re running Lion (10.7) or Mountain Lion (10.8), you will need to upgrade to El Capitan (10.11) first. If you don’t have broadband access, you can upgrade your Mac at any Apple Store.
Mac computers with Metal-capable graphics processors (GPUs) can upgrade to macOS Catalina.
Make sure you’re ready to upgrade.
Before you upgrade, we recommend that you back up your Mac. Then, if your Mac is running OS X Mavericks 10.9 or later, you can upgrade directly to macOS Catalina.
Upgrading is free. And easier than you think.

Recently, my employer started offering the option of MacBooks for employee’s workstations.
Although I may be classified as a Windows-adept, I decided to take the plunge (remember to put it back by Tuesday) and move to Mac.
Although I may be classified as a Windows-adept, I decided to take the plunge (remember to put it back by Tuesday) and move to Mac.
One of the first questions that pops up will be: how do I run Windows apps on my Mac?
There are, basically, a couple of options:
- BootCamp – decide at boot-time what OS to boot into, Windows or MacOS.
- Virtual Machine – use MacOS as host operating system, and run Windows in a virtual machine, by installing VMWare or VirtualBox
- Wine – Wine Is Not an Emulator – (open-source) software that wraps windows programs for *nix-type systems, such as MacOS.
- CrossOver – a graphical shell on top of Wine
CrossOver for Mac is a commercial piece of software, providing a GUI on top of Wine. Although this hides a lot of the sometimes complicated hassle of correctly configuring Wine, a EUR 475,= fee for this service (for a lifetime license, one year runs at EUR 59,=) is in my opinion, well, ridiculous, even though the lifetime license does support the WINE development team and the team at CodeWeavers does a lot of work on the WINE-project itself.
Granted, the “hassle” is there for Wine, still. To have it running succesfully on your MacBook, it has some pre-requisites. I will now run you by my process of installing the software.
Pre-requisites
This guide is valid for MacOS High Sierra (10.13)
1. Install HomeBrew
Homebrew is an excellent piece of software that is comparable with the application managers on Linux systems, such as YUM for Redhat, or APT-GET for Debian-like systems. It will allow you to install additional packages onto your Mac.
I consider this an essential add-on to your Mac and I will omit its installation because, well, if you do not already have this on your Mac or cannot find your way into its installation, this post is probably not for you anyway!
2. Install XQuartz
This is one of the dependencies that will not be resolved automatically and therefore needs to be homebrewed beforehand:
Be patient while this runs, as it may pull in other dependencies.
3. Install Wine using HomeBrew

Now, the business end of things; it is time to pull in Wine:
There is no ‘cask’ (no UI), hence the shorter command.
Again, be patient, as this may require pulling in additional dependencies.
Updating the configuration may take a while (it did in my case), but after a while, lo and behold:

By the way, I am all for supporting the Wine developers (but not through CodeWeavers). So if you like the software, please consider donating to the project via this link
