ArcExplorer is a Mac OS X compatible as a viewer for the use of GIS data and basic GIS functions. Software can be used to display, and supports a variety of standard data sources. ArcExplorer can be used stand alone or be a client of a data center server on the Internet. Sep 16, 2019  Quantum GIS (QGIS) is a user friendly Open Source Geographic Information System (GIS) that runs on Mac OS X, Linux, Unix, and Windows. QGIS supports vector, raster, and database formats. QGIS supports vector, raster, and database formats.

The last time I went looking for a desktop GIS application for my Mac all I found was the beast of a system that is GRASS (it looked so powerful, but yet so far beyond my reach to properly grasp). Suddenly it seems that GIS apps for the Mac are all over the place: Quantum GIS and uDIG are two I. Use ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcGlobe, and ArcScene—the traditional ArcGIS Desktop applications—to create maps, perform spatial analysis, manage geographic data, and share your results. Ready to try ArcGIS Pro? The newest addition to the ArcGIS Desktop product line integrates your GIS workflows in a single elegant application. Get ArcGIS Desktop. VMWare Fusion Pro also provides Mac users with virtualization technology to run Windows and ArcGIS as a virtual machine within OS X. Users must purchase VMWare fusion to use this virtualization option. Similar to Parallels, this is a suitable option for users whom have newer Macs with more powerful hardware resources in terms of CPU, Memory.

New Fully Bundled GRASS Software

How GeoMAC Works. In order to give fire managers near real-time information, fire perimeter data is updated daily based upon input from incident intelligence sources, GPS data, infrared (IR) imagery from fixed wing and satellite platforms. Update, 11 July 2014: Will Esri be migrating ArcGIS to the Mac? We currently have no plans to migrate the full ArcGIS for Desktop to the Mac OS. It does, however, run very well on Mac using Windows emulation software (e.g., Bootcamp). This is a high-performance environment, and many of our developers at Esri use.

These new binaries are packaged with all needed dependencies, including Python 2.7 and wxPython (v3 or 4). It is no longer necessary to install any frameworks. Hopefully this will avoid any conflicts with other versions of GRASS dependencies you may have intentionally or inadvertently installed, and will run without needing to disable OS X System Integrity Protection. These binaries were built under OS X 10.13 (AKA High Sierra) and have been tested on Sierra (OS X 10.12). I don't yet know which older versions will run this binary. Probably 10.9 and above at least. These versions of GRASS are compiled with international support (gettext).

These new apps do not yet have support for directly reading LAS LiDAR files within GRASS. I have, however, bundled the LAStools command line utilities. These utility programs allow you to read/write LAS (lasinfo, las2las, las2txt, txt2las) and LAZip files (laszip), do filtering and processing (lasdiff, lasindex, lasmerge, lasprecision), and translate them into csv formats that GRASS can read (las2txt).

Installing GRASS for Mac

1. Download and unzip the *.dmg installation package
2. Drag the GRASS app to your /Applications folder (it will not work properly in any other folder)

IMPORTANT These new fully bundled binaries MUST be installed and run from the /Applications folder. They will not run from another folder or even a subfolder of /Applications. This has to do with the conda build environment. If this changes, I'll note it here.

FIRST TIME LAUNCH OF A GRASS BINARY Currently, because I do not have permission to authenticate ('sign') Mac apps, my binaries will fail Apple's verification test. To run them, you need to control-click the app and select 'open' the first time you run an app you have downloaded. After verification fails, you will be given the option to 'open' the app anyway. You only have to do this once for each app or version you download. I and others have noticed that after doing this, the app may close and you will have to double click it again, and it may take some time to launch initially. After the first time, each app should open quickly and without issue.

Known bugs

There are several known bugs that affect the GUI in these new binaries:

1. The digitizer module and the interactive supervised classification module (for satellite imagery) are unstable and will crash the GUI. You will need to restart the GUI by typing 'g.gui' into the terminal and hitting return. The raster digitizer is now working well in GRASS 7.5 but the vector digitizer is still broken.
2. In GRASS 7.2.2, a few drop down controls (entry widgets) do not recognize mouse clicks. You will need to use your arrow keys or type the entry for them to work. This is fixed in the later versions of GRASS.
3. In GRASS 7.2.2, when switching back from the 3D interface to the 2D interface, one of the 3D window control buttons (for fly through) will overwrite one of the 2D menu buttons (zoom to max). If you click this overwritten button, the GUI will crash and you will have to restart it (see #1). This is fixed in the later versions of GRASS.

Please report any other bugs on the GRASS bug tracker (https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/report).

Legacy GRASS binary apps (will not be further updated)

These releases require you to have installed needed frameworks (AKA dependencies or helper programs) before installing GRASS for the first time. Check the frameworks page to make sure you have the appropriate framework versions.

Legacy GRASS binaries from this site may not work with OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) and above unless you disable 'System Integrity Protection'. A workaround to allow GRASS to run is provided below.

If it came pre-installed, it's a so-called OEM version, thena. If you have an earlier version, the terms are somewhatdifferent.1.

For OSX 10.8+

These versions of GRASS are compiled with international support (gettext) and LiDAR (LASlib and tools) support. As far as I can tell, they work with Mac OS X version 10.8 (AKA 'Lion') and above if System Integrity Protection is disabled.

For OSX 10.6+

These even older binaries for 10.6 seem to also run well with 10.8 and maybe above. However, they are based on system Python 2.5 and 2.6.

2-step installation of legacy GRASS binaries for the Mac.

Step 1 You need to download and install some helper programs, called frameworks (the same as 'dependencies' on Linux systems). I've provided these on the frameworks page. William Kyngesburye compiles the frameworks so you don't have to and packages them into an easily installable set.

His site is at: http://www.kyngchaos.com/software:frameworks.

You can find the latest versions there. However, you should probably use the ones I provide (the ones I used to compile the binaries). Newer versions may or may not work.

Step 2 Then you just need to download one of the GRASS binaries below. Each downloaded app comes as a compressed disk image (*.zip expanded to *.pkg). You just double click and follow the instructions. Although these binaries automatically install directly into the Mac Applications folder, you can move them to another folder of your choice.

How to alter system settings in OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) and newer so that older GRASS binaries will run

This is a work around that seems to allow you to run GRASS on a Mac after upgrading to the new Apple OS. It involves disabling a new System Integrity Protection feature. This reduces security of your system to the level it was before the El Capitan OS X release.

1. Restart your Mac in Recovery Mode. To do this, choose Restart from the Apple menu, and as soon as the screen turns black hold down Command + R on the keyboard until the Apple logo appears on your screen.
2. Select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
3. In the Terminal Window that opens type: csrutil disable
4. Press the Return key.
5. Choose Restart from the Apple menu.

To reenable System Integrity Protection, follow the above steps but in the terminal, type: csrutil enable

Some people may need to reinstall frameworks for GRASS to run. For others, this is not necessary
