nextnanomat on macOS
nextnanomat is programmed in C#, and can thus be executed on any operating system.
It is, however, developed on and optimized for Windows.
On macOS, you have to either install Mono or Wine to run nextnanomat.
However we strongly recommend using Wine! Wine is available for macOS 10.8 and higher.
Installation procedure
Install
XQuartz (version 2.7.7 or later).

As of 19 Nov. 2019, Wine does not work on the latest version: macOS Catalina 10.15.
On the website, both .pkg files and .tar.gz files are provided. Installation from .pkg files is handy. In this case, however, only the 32-bit version of nextnano software can be used, and currently one has to make sure that appropriate libiomp5.dll files are located in the same directory as “nextnano3.exe” and “nextnano++.exe” (even for the serial version of nextnano). If you need libiomp5.dll files, please contact us.
If you install Tarball for “Wine Stable” (32 + 64-bit), the 64-bit version is also available.
Install “winetricks”.
Launch Wine stable from Applications or Launchpad.
Terminal window shows up with a short introduction of important commands.
