Hi chihchi1114,
Equilab is a Windows program, so to run it on a Mac you will need to use a Windows emulator, or dual boot system.
I am not a Mac adept, so hopefully another user will be able to point you in the right direction.
All the best,

Bonjour à tous,
Il est peut-être trop tard pour répondre mais il est possible d'installer un émulateur windows sur Mac avec wine /winebottler.
Je l'ai installé et fonctionne parfaitement cependant, il ne faut pas mettre à jour vers ios Catalina car il n'est pas pris en charge , donc bien rester sur Mojave (ce que je n'ai pas fait!!
En espérant que ma réponse puisse aider...

Hi guys,
I also have problems downloading Equilab from pokerstrategy. It's a blank white file i download and even with wine i can't open it. Is there anyone who has the same problem?
I have never tried to install it on a Mac.
The installation file is an msi -- which is an installation package that uses the Windows installation system.
One of these links might help...

I couldn't find one specific to Wine though...
Best of luck :gl:,

I tried a lot to get it running on MacOS (with Catalina) and I haven't been successful. No luck with neither wine nor wine-bottler nor any other. Problem is that Catalina dropped 32bit support.
Alternative solutions but they all have their disadvantages:
- Run in a virtual machine
- Run with Parallels

"Run with Parallels" implies "Run in a virtual machine". Parallels is just one way of running a virtual machine. VMWare is a similar paid alternative. VirtualBox is a free alternative. All of these allow you to run a Windows virtual machine on a Mac.
