Apophysis on Mac (Working + Tutorial)
2 min read
As you may or may not know an unofficial version of Apophysis was released for Intel Mac's a while back. I personally could not get it to work and based on other peoples comments they couldn't get it to work either.
I have however found a solution. This all totally free and shouldn't take longer than about 10 minutes to do.
You need an intel Mac with X11 to do this.
If this hasn't happened it means you've done something wrong. Go back over the steps and try again or leave a comment here or on my profile and I'll try to talk you through it. I'm not sure if plugins will work yet however feel free to try. I've tried some scripts and some parameters and that's fine. Had a quick go at rendering something and all seemed ok.
Let me know how it goes guys!

Follow these instructions:
- 1. Go to winebottler.kronenberg.org/ and download WineBottler.
Once downloaded drag the two apps to your applications folder as you always do. Open the applications and make sure everything seems to be fine. - 2. Go to the Apophysis Sourceforge page at sourceforge.net/projects/apoph… and make sure you download the Apophysis .exe and not the .7z file. Once it's downloaded place the .exe in a convenient place (in a folder for example)
- 3. In Winebottler, select "Create Custom Prefixes" from the sidebar and select the location of the install file, which in this case will be your Apophysis .exe that you just placed in a folder. After you have done this click the "copy only" check box and click install.
- 4. When the "install is complete". Go to the location of your Apophysis .exe. In there you should now see "My Wine App" or something that you named it to during the installation with the Apophysis icon.
Open it. The original Windows version of Apophysis should now be running on your Mac.
