Installing VMware and Windows 10 on Mac OS

Some of the software packages used in our classes only work on Windows or Linux operating systems.

For students that have a Mac they can install a virtual machine,VM, using VMWare. And they'll need to download Windows 10 and they can download it from the Azure Dev Tools website.

Here is a link with instructions to access the Azure Dev Tools website: https://seascf.seas.gwu.edu/microsoft-imagine-now-azure-dev-tools-teaching

When they login the Azure site they will select Software on the left and look for "Windows 10 (consumer editions), version 1909".

Once they are done installing a Windows 10 VM they can install Vivado 2018.2 on their VM. Here is the link: https://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.html/content/xilinx/en/downloadNav/vivado-design-tools/archive.html
