Thank you for your interest to our product. Our **HOOPS Web Platform** tool is available on Windows or Linux, not yet on MacOS. **HOOPS Web Platform** uses **HOOPS Communicator** , and this component is available on those 2 platforms, [tied to different distributions](https://docs.techsoft3d.com/communicator/latest/build/overview-supported-platforms.html).

Hi!

That is correct. Since HOOPS Communicator 2020 macOS is indeed one of the supported platforms. In fact with HOOPS Communicator 2021 SP2 we also introduced native support for Apple Silicon. You can find more information about supported platforms for HOOPS Communicator here:

Hi,

right now the macOS package is only available to customers or companies evaluating the HOOPS Web platform through our guided evaluation. However, we are working on making an installer for MAC available imminently so stay tuned. I hope to get you a beta in the next few days.

Thanks,  
Guido
