MacOS - alicevision/Meshroom GitHub Wiki

Unfortunately there is no official MacOS release.

However, there is hope now: https://github.com/philippremy/MTL-AliceVision Read on here: https://github.com/alicevision/AliceVision/issues/439#issuecomment-3193841200

It was possible to get Meshroom working on macOS in the past (2018) as described in this blog. This guide is now outdated and no longer works for newer devices and Meshroom versions. Read this issue for more information and updates.

To fully utilize Meshroom, a NVIDIA CUDA-enabled GPU is recommended. Without a supported NVIDIA GPU only "Draft Meshing" can be used for 3D reconstruction.

Apple ditched Nvidia support, so new Macs don`t have a Nvidia GPU and even NVIDIA eGPUs are not supported since MacOS 10.14 (Mojave).

In the future, Apple will switch to ARM CPUs, which will add an additional issue for building binaries, so an official MacOS build for Meshroom becomes even more unlikely.
