This guide will take you through the steps to install and run Dromedary Studio on OS X. We will be using a program called Wine. Wine is compatibility layer for Linux and macOS which enables Windows applications to be run seamlessly.

Homebrew is the easiest way to install Wine on Mac. Follow these steps:
Open your prefered terminal application. OS X comes with
Terminal.app
installed by default.Homebrew requires
Command Line Tools (CLT) for Xcode
. You might already have this installed. This will take some time to download and install depending on your internet speed, so be patient. Install it with:xcode-select --install
Copy and paste the following line into your terminal, and hit
ENTER
./bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
Once Homebrew is installed, close
Terminal
and relaunch it. Homebrew will tell you to runbrew doctor
. Do this now. This will check for issues with your installation and suggest fixes.brew doctor
Homebrew might tell you to that you need to accept the license for
Xcode
. Do so with this command.sudo xcodebuild -license
Run
brew doctor
one final time to verify that Homebrew is ready.brew doctor
You should now see
