How do i get the MacOS libs if I don’t own a Mac? Currently I can get the windows libs and linux libs by downloading them from here [https://www.fmod.com/download](https://www.fmod.com/download). But the MacOS download is an .dmg file and I can’t open that? Are they located somehere else? ---

Most zip programs (like 7-Zip for instance) will open .dmg files. ---

I got it to open in 7zip but I’m not to familiar with MacOS .dmg files. There is two folders in the installer, 4.x64 and 4.arm64. I don’t know how I would extract the MacOS libs/dll’s from those? ---

Get onto a Mac and double-click the .dmg. If you don’t own a Mac what are you going to do with the Mac libs? What’s your end goal here? ---

It’s a valid question. If you want to offer a Mac build of your game, you’ll need to distribute the macOS libs alongside, even if your main development machine is, say, Windows. For me it’s the other way round (develop on macOS, distribute Windows build) but luckily I can extract the Windows libraries even on macOS. ---

What is the filename of the .dmg you’re trying to extract FMOD libs from? I’m not seeing those 4.x64 and 4.arm64 folders you mention. ---

Nah, there’s no 4.x64 and 4.arm64 folders in that .dmg. What zip program are you using? ---

Hm, that’s strange. This is what I see : ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/fmod/original/2X/7/7b9b03db3524fdd2f4b5c19c54388a4144fc9b9d.png) Maybe go to [the Download page](https://fmod.com/download#fmodengine) and get it again? ---
