  Hi Marian Santos14

  Intel's official MacOS installation instructions can be found at the link below.

  https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/blob/master/doc/installation_osx.md

   

  If you are using a Mac with an Intel processor (not Apple Silicon M1) then a quick way to install the librealsense SDK on MacOS is with brew install librealsense

  https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/librealsense

   

   

  If you have an M1 Mac then installation of librealsense is possible but can be complicated and may involve working through a number of error messages using solutions shared by other M1 owning RealSense users.

  https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/issues/8090

   

  If your MacOS version is Monterey then there are known issues with using RealSense with it for both Intel and M1 Mac's that are discussed here:

  Is there a solution for Mac m2? 

  Im running macos ventura on a macstudio m2, and still looking for a solution to use any depth camera and SDK for real time body tracking; Even if i cant receive data on touchdesigner I’ll be happy to get a simple silhuete so i can stream it via ndi to Resolume or Mad Mapper. Any suggestions??’

  Hi Caixadomiguel  At the time of writing this it is still rare for RealSense to be used with M2 Macs.  The link below has a guide for installing RealSense for use with TouchDesigner on an M1 Mac though.

  A RealSense user at the link below reported successful use of a D435 camera on an M2 Mac.

  Dear MartyG,

  Thanks for your comments regarding using RealSense on a Mac.

  Unfortunately despite scouring Github, Pyrealsense, Lightbuzz and the above I still could not get it to work.

  I would be grateful for your advice and expertise regarding the above.

  Kind regards,

  Hi,

  I got exact the same issue on Mac M3, here's the error message:
  
  

  GLFW Driver Error: Cocoa: Regular windows do not have icons on macOS

  25/04 12:57:10,449 INFO [0x1de559c40] (context.cpp:116) ... 1-2.1-4

  25/04 12:57:10,449 INFO [0x1de559c40] (context.cpp:129) Found 1 RealSense devices (0xff requested & 0xff from device-mask in settings)

  zsh: segmentation fault  sudo realsense-viewer
  

  Please let me know what else could I do to fix this. Thank you!
