The process of running Fedora Media Writer on a Mac computer is the same as every other Mac application.
The application has been developed and tested on macOS Tahoe (26). We recommend you to use the latest release possible.
Oldest supported release is macOS 13.
Download the .dmg file from the Releases section of this page for the latest, then drag-and-drop it to the Applications folder open it from there.
The files downloaded from this page are not signed, which means you can get a prompt saying you won't be able to open them. In order to be able to
run our pre-built binaries you have to run xattr -d com.apple.quarantine FedoraMediaWriter-macos-x.x.x.dmg to get rid of the warning about uknown source.
There is a known issue in progress bar on macOS 26 in Qt 6.9.3. Fedora Media Writer issue: #897
You can build Fedora Media Writer yourself. It has just a few dependencies and building it is a matter of just running a few commands.
Qt6(qtbase,qtdeclarative,qtsvgandqtquickcontrols2)
You can use Qt Creator to build and work with the application. If not using that, the process is basically just these two commands you need to run inside the Fedora Media Writer source code directory:
cmake
make
There is also the build.sh script included that I use for building a dmg package for distribution on this site. There are some hardcoded paths which you can modify to match yours. It will then build the application and create a portable .dmg package that can be used on other computers.
