Hello, I just tested some structural biology programs on my MacMini with M1 chip (base model, MacOS 11.0.1). After installing Xcode command line tools 12.2 and Xquartz 2.7.11, open source pymol 2.4.0 (via homebrew), coot 0.8.9.3 (W. Scott's binary) and UCSF chimeraX 1.1 (official dmg) are all

Hi To be fair to Apple, the original Rosetta that allowed Power PC executables to run on their Intel chipped computers worked really well. I still have a machine that can run Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6.8), which uses Rosetta to run a very old version of PPC MS Word. The main issue appears to be

Hi Antony In theory (TM) things should just work with Rosetta 2 - how well they work is a matter for some debate and I think there will be a lot of eyes on non-Apple benchmarks of this system. I would guess though that it will be inevitable that we (DIALS, CCP4, the community, …) need to

Perhaps this is a little too soon, but does anyone know if the new M1 system-on-a-chip will continue to run XQuartz/X11 + the CCP4 program suite + other crystallography / EM software? Will CCP4 continue to support the platform? (a quick check of the GitHub page indicates that there is already
