If there are no packages / wrappers, just use the “update” button and “+” button to add engine from the Web. You may need to restart the app to make the engine appears in the list.

5) click “Create New Blank Wrapper”

Enter the name for the Mac program : “Wavosaur” is a good choice !

6) if you get some windows asking you for installing .NET support or Gecko support, just click “cancel”, Wavosaur doesn’t need .NET framework in order to run. It just needs a dll file, we’ll add it on step 10)

    Hi,

    I tried running this on El Capitan and I got this error:

    “Error! cannot write to Info.plist, there are permission problems, or you are on a read-only volume.

    This cannot run from within a read-only dmg file.”
