	~~Phidget22 is supported on '''macOS 10.11 and newer'''.~~		===Other Resources===

	~~To get started, install our libraries.~~

			==Getting Started with macOS==
	===Install===		===Install===
	To ~~begin~~, ~~select which version of our installer to use:~~		To get started, download the appropriate [[#Quick Downloads\|package]] for your machine from the list above. This will install the Phidget Control Panel and the Phidget Network Server. These are powerful tools that will help you develop your Phidget applications.
	* [~~https://cdn.phidgets.com/downloads/phidget22/libraries/macos/Phidget22.dmg Installer~~]
	** Installs Phidget development libraries globally for ~~use in C, Java or Max.~~
	** Includes the ~~Phidget Control Panel and the Phidget Network Server~~.
	** May Require changing security settings on Apple Silicon macs. See here [https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/mac-help/mchl768f7291/mac].

	* [https://cdn.phidgets.com/downloads/phidget22/tools/macos/Phidget22ControlPanel.dmg Standalone]
	** Self contained Application; no installer.
	** Includes the Phidget Control Panel and the Phidget Network Server.
	** Requires macOS 10.15 or newer.

	~~Open up the installer, and double click on ''Phidgets.pkg'' to install the libraries:~~
	~~[[File:OSX Install 1.png\|link=\|alt=macOS Install\|center]]~~

	~~When prompted, continue with the installation:~~
	~~[[File:OSX Install 2.png\|link=\|alt=macOS Install\|center]]~~

	~~If you are using macOS 10.13 or newer you will also need to give explicit permission for the driver to function. You can read about this here [https://support.apple.com/en-us/120363].~~

	~~The Phidgets libraries~~ are ~~now installed on your machine. Next, let's verify that the Phidget libraries are working properly.~~

	~~===Verify===~~
	~~The best way to verify that your libraries are working properly is to use the Phidget Control Panel. The Phidget Control Panel is a~~ powerful ~~tool~~ that will help you develop your ~~Phidgets~~ applications. ~~Get started by following the instructions below:~~

			===Phidget Control Panel===
			After downloading, drag the application into your Applications folder:
			[[Image:Macos_standalone_install.png\|link=https://cdn.phidgets.com/docs/images/c/c8/Macos_applications_controlpanel.png\|center\|600px]]

	~~Open Finder and navigate to~~ the Phidget Control Panel ~~in the Applications list:~~		You can then find the application in the Applications folder by searching for ''Phidget Control Panel''.
	[[~~File~~:~~OSX Finder Apps~~.png\|link=\|~~800px\|alt=macOS Finder Apps~~\|center]]		[[Image:Macos_applications_controlpanel.png\|link=https://cdn.phidgets.com/docs/images/c/c8/Macos_applications_controlpanel.png\|600px\|center]]

			When you open the application for the first time, you will see the following notice:
			[[Image:Macos_install_extension.png\|link=https://cdn.phidgets.com/docs/images/9/9e/Macos_install_extension.png\|300px\|center]]

	~~Double click on~~ the ~~Phidgets icon~~ to ~~bring up the Phidget Control Panel. You can now see all the Phidgets that are plugged into your machine~~, ~~as well as any Phidgets that are on the network~~:		Follow the link in the pop-up, or navigate to ''System Settings > General > Login Items & Extensions > Extensions'', and give permissions:
	[[~~File~~:~~OSX ControlPanel General~~.png~~\|600px~~\|link=\|~~alt=macOS Control Panel General~~\|center]]		[[Image:Macos_install_extension_permission.png\|link=https://cdn.phidgets.com/docs/images/a/ac/Macos_install_extension_permission.png\|600px\|center]]
			<center>''Note: The driver extension is only required for legacy USB Phidgets that use a HID USB stack. Refer to your product’s specifications page for information about its USB stack.''</center>


	~~Click on~~ the ~~arrow beside a device to expand it so that~~ you ~~can~~ see all ~~available channels. Double click~~ on ~~one of these channels to open up a window that lets you interact with it~~.		After running the application, you will see all the Phidgets that are plugged into your machine, as well as any Phidgets that are on your network.
	[[~~File~~:~~OSX Control Panel Channel~~.png ‎\|link=~~\|alt=macOS Control Panel Channel~~\|center]]		[[Image:Os_macos_controlpanel.png\|600px\|link=https://cdn.phidgets.com/docs/images/a/a1/Os_macos_controlpanel.png\|center]]


	~~The Phidget Control Panel can be used for testing devices, updating firmware, enabling~~ a ~~network server, and more! Visit the [[Phidget Control Panel#macOS\|Phidget Control Panel]] page if~~ you ~~want~~ to ~~delve~~ a ~~little deeper~~.		Click on the arrow beside a device to expand it so that you can see all available channels. Double-click on one of these channels to open up a window that lets you interact with it.

	~~Your Phidget is now able to communicate with your development machine. The next step is selecting a programming language so you can start to write some code!~~
