 # No longer supported
 
--   Note on MacOS: regular builds of LArSoft under MacOS has required a disproportionate level of effort from the support team. In addition, the requirement that SIP be disabled in order to build and run LArSoft under any macOS release, as is currently the case, prevents “full support” of MacOS even without the attendant build issues. As a result, the SciSoft team has dropped support for MacOS builds until further notice. Users who need to execute LArSoft under MacOS should use an appropriate docker image.
--   macOS 10.14 Mojave
-    -   Best-effort support is available with clang 7.0.0 (c7) builds.
-    -   Note: At present, using Mojave requires:
-        -   Disabling System Integrity Protection (SIP). (Disabling SIP is currently allowed at Fermilab. Check the security policies at your institution before taking this step.)
-        -   [Homebrew](https://cdcvs.fnal.gov/redmine/projects/cet-is/wiki/Homebrew_keg_only_install_of_openssl) keg-only installation of `openssl`.
-    -   See (https://cdcvs.fnal.gov/redmine/projects/el-capitan-support/wiki/Installing_OpenSSL_on_El_Capitan) for full details
-    -   **Xcode 10.1** (System headers were changed in Xcode 10.2. It cannot be used at this time.)

--   OSX Yosemite
-    -   “Starting from Nov. 10, 2017, any Mac computer running macOS Yosemite (v10.10) will be blocked from accessing the Fermilab network.”
-    -   Fermilab offers limited support for scientific applications under Mac OSX. (See the [SCD policy statement here.](https://cd-docdb.fnal.gov:440/cgi-bin/ShowDocument?docid=5326) ) While core LArSoft and experiment production code is tested and works, some products used by LArSoft (e.g., ifdhc) may offer functionality under SL that is not available under any given flavor of OSX.
-    -   Notice about building: If you are building larsoft and supporting products from source, please move other product providers such as homebrew out of the way (e.g. sudo -i mv /usr/local{,.safe}). The presence of some packages under /usr/local can result in non-portable builds of packages such as ROOT due to an ability to auto-configure for found features.
--   Mac OSX 10.11 “El Capitan”
-    -   Support dropped as of larsoft v06_74_00 (April 12, 2018)
-    -   Note: At present, using El Capitan requires:
-        -   Disabling System Integrity Protection (SIP). (Disabling SIP is currently allowed at Fermilab. Check the security policies at your institution before taking this step.)
