Hi Mark,

I don't believe that that will work for mac. Are you trying to use Visual Studio for Mac so you can write compiled code for Umbraco? I ask because I'm not certain that this is possible. (I may well be wrong).

I believe that VS for Mac can't do full .Net (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/mac/) it is limited to .Net Core (which Umbraco isn't built on) and Xamrin style projects.

Cheers,

Nik

Hi Mark

Just want to add a little more information to what Nik explained above it's not possible to run Umbraco locally on a mac. You will need to either use Bootcamp or run some kind of virtual machine, which will allow you to setup Windows where you can then run visual studio - It's described here https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/getting-started/setup/install/running-umbraco-on-a-mac

When using Umbraco Cloud you can use the UAAS-Cli as described here https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Umbraco-Cloud/Set-Up/Working-with-UaaS-Cli/, which will allow you to edit your frontend files locally. So stuff like JavaScript, CSS and Views for instance.

But that's about it for now :-)

Hope this helps.
