AGS & macOS
Unfortunately, the AGS Editor is not natively available on any platform outside of Windows. However, there is still a way you can get the AGS Editor running on your Mac.
A install script has been made that will install the AGS Editor on your Mac through Wine, a compatibility layer that allows Windows apps to run on Linux and macOS.
AGS Installer (single script)
The script performs the following actions:
- Homebrew (brew.sh)
- Wine
- Winetricks
- .NET Framework 4.8 (within the Wine install itself)
The AGS build installed through this script should always be the latest version and should be fetched from the official AGS website. The native AGS Engine will also be built natively for macOS through this script.
This script also bundles everything into AGS Editor.app, which can be launched as normal from your ~/Applications folder and Spotlight / Launchpad
To install AGS and build the engine, copy and paste the following command into your terminal:
curl -L -o ~/Downloads/agsInstaller.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/isak-dombestein/ags_macos/refs/heads/main/install.sh && bash ~/Downloads/agsInstaller.sh
This script is open source and available on GitHub. It's always recommended you read through a script before running it to ensure you know what it does. The button below will take you to the GitHub repository where you can review the script before running it, and open issues if you encounter any problems with this script.
