DOSBos Staging requires **macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later**, and supports both
Intel and Apple silicon Macs.

Check out the [0.82.1 release notes](release-notes/0.82.1.md) to learn about
the changes and improvements introduced by this release.

If you're new to DOSBox Staging, we highly recommend following the
[Getting started guide](../getting-started/index.md).


## Hardware requirements

The latest release is compatible with macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or newer and
supports both 64-bit Intel and Apple silicon Macs.


## Development snapshot builds

You can always see what's cooking on the main branch! :sunglasses: :beer:

These [snapshot builds](development-builds.md) might be slow or unstable as they
are designed with developers and testers in mind.


## Apple Gatekeeper

For releases before 0.81.0 and the [development snapshot
builds](development-builds.md), you'll need to do the following when launching
DOSBox Staging for the first time.

You'll need to repeat these steps after upgrading to a more recent development
build.

### macOS Sequoia 15

- Open the **DOSBox Staging** app, then click **Done** in the appearing dialog.
- Follow [these instructions](https://support.apple.com/en-us/102445#openanyway) to allow
  launching DOSBox Staging in the **Privacy & Security** tab in **System Settings**.

### macOS Sonoma 14 or earlier

- ++ctrl++ click (or right-click) on the **DOSBox Staging** app, then click
  **Open**.
- Click **OK** to close the appearing dialog.
- Open the app a second time---now Gatekeeper will show an
  **Open** button. Press this to launch DOSBox Staging.

Apple's Gatekeeper feature only permits the running of notarized software, one
aspect of which involves developers making yearly payments to Apple.

As DOSBox Staging is a volunteer effort, we were not in a position to make
such payments prior to version 0.81.0, and therefore asked users to bypass
Apple's Gatekeeper manually.

Read the first section of [this Apple Support
article](https://support.apple.com/en-us/102445) for further info.
