The Turing Track Mac OS
Two options are available:
It works like a charm under Mac OS 10.13.6 (High Sierra) using PlayOnMac! That is a GUI for Wine, e. Makes using Wine on Mac very easy. Just installed PlayOnMac, double clicked the Windows setup executable and it did all the installation and the program worked as fine as the Windows version in the tutorial videos. 1 Price per month is based on a 3 year Finance Lease with monthly payments in advance.

- Ready Made: Download the Turing IDE packaged by Oswald Pan.
- Do It Yourself: Follow the instructions on this page.
Download WineBottler
- Download the installer for the most recent stable version of WineBottler.
- Store the downloaded disc image (the .dmg file) in an appropriate location such as an installers or development directory.
Install Wine & WineBottler
- Navigate to the directory where you stored the WineBottler installer.
- Double-click the installer to mount the virtual disc.
- In the window which opens to reveal the contents of the disc (see image below), you’ll see two apps—Wine.app and WineBottler.app—and an alias of your Applications directory. In turn, drag and drop each app over the Applications alias. This copies the apps to the directory.
- When the copying operation is complete, control-click the small disc icon at the bottom of the WindBottler Combo window and choose “Eject ‘WineBottler Combo’.” (See image below.)
Launch Wine
- Launch Wine as you would launch any other Mac application: from Launchpad or from your Applications directory. If you like, you can also drag the app to your Dock.
- The first time you launch Wine, you’ll see a warning that the app was downloaded from the Internet. Click “Open.” (See image below.)
- Wait for the verification process to end. (See image below.)
- When Wine has been verified, its icon (a partially filled wine glass) will appear in the “menu extras” section on the right side of the Finder’s menu bar. (See image below.)
Install the Turing IDE
- In a Finder window, navigate to your user directory. (For example, when Victoria Windsor’s OS X user account was established, her user directory was called victoria.) If you’re uncertain as to the name of your user directory, look in the Users directory found in the root of your Mac’s hard drive.
- From your user directory, navigate to the newly installed Wine Files directory, then to the drive_c directory, then to the Program Files directory.
- In a second Finder window, navigate to the directory where you downloaded Turing 4.1 for Windows(Turing_4.1.zip) during Week 1 of the semester.
- Double-click Turing_4.1.zip to extract its contents: the Turing 4.1 directory.
- Move the Turing 4.1 directory to the Program Files directory of step 2. (See image below.)
Use WineBottler to create the Turing IDE App
- Launch WineBottler as you would launch any other Mac application: from Launchpad or from your Applications directory. If you like, you can also drag the app to your Dock.
- The first time you launch WineBottler, you’ll see a warning that the app was downloaded from the Internet. Click “Open.” (See image below.)
- On the button bar of the WineBottler window, choose “Advanced.” (See image below.)

- In the section entitled “Program to install,” select the radio button which says This is the actual program, copy it and all files that are in the same folder.
- Click the button labelled “select File…” (it’s at the far right of the section) and navigate to the Turing 4.1 directory inside your Program Files directory. Select turing.exe and click “Open.”
- Check that radio-button selection and the file name match those shown in the image below. (Of course, in place of “victoria” you’ll see the name of your user directory.)
- Click the button labelled “Install.” It's in the bottom-right corner of the WineBottler window.
- In the dialogue box which appears, navigate to your Applications directory and change the “Save As” name to Turing IDE.app. (See image below.)
- Click “Save.”
- Wait as the installation process proceeds. (See image below.)
- If the app was successfully installed, you’ll see a confirmation message like the one shown below.
Launch Turing IDE
- Launch Turing IDE as you would launch any other Mac application: from Launchpad or from your Applications directory. If you like, you can also drag the app to your Dock.
- Remember that because the IDE is essentially a Windows program, you must use key sequences like control-C instead of command-C.
- If you encounter problems, don’t hesitate to ask your teacher.
- Enjoy programming in Turing!

Start up from macOS Recovery
Determine whether you're using a Mac with Apple silicon, then follow the appropriate steps:

Apple silicon
Turn on your Mac and continue to press and hold the power button until you see the startup options window. Click the gear icon labeled Options, then click Continue.
Intel processor
Make sure that your Mac has a connection to the internet. Then turn on your Mac and immediately press and hold Command (⌘)-R until you see an Apple logo or other image.
If you're asked to select a user you know the password for, select the user, click Next, then enter their administrator password.
Reinstall macOS
Select Reinstall macOS from the utilities window in macOS Recovery, then click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions.
Follow these guidelines during installation:
- If the installer asks to unlock your disk, enter the password you use to log in to your Mac.
- If the installer doesn't see your disk, or it says that it can't install on your computer or volume, you might need to erase your disk first.
- If the installer offers you the choice between installing on Macintosh HD or Macintosh HD - Data, choose Macintosh HD.
- Allow installation to complete without putting your Mac to sleep or closing its lid. Your Mac might restart and show a progress bar several times, and the screen might be empty for minutes at a time.
After installation is complete, your Mac might restart to a setup assistant. If you're selling, trading in, or giving away your Mac, press Command-Q to quit the assistant without completing setup. Then click Shut Down. When the new owner starts up the Mac, they can use their own information to complete setup.
Other macOS installation options
When you install macOS from Recovery, you get the current version of the most recently installed macOS, with some exceptions:
- On an Intel-based Mac: If you use Shift-Option-Command-R during startup, you're offered the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available. If you use Option-Command-R during startup, in most cases you're offered the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac. Otherwise you're offered the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available.
- If the Mac logic board was just replaced, you may be offered only the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac. If you just erased your entire startup disk, you may be offered only the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available.
You can also use these methods to install macOS, if the macOS is compatible with your Mac:
The Turing Track Mac Os Pro
- Use the App Store to download and install the latest macOS.
- Use the App Store or a web browser to download and install an earlier macOS.
- Use a USB flash drive or other secondary volume to create a bootable installer.
