      I don't run MacOS, but I believe what I have heard is that the 
reason it doesn't run on Mac is that MacOS only comes with Python3.x now 
(no idea why), and chirp is written in Python2.x. In Linux you can have 
more than one version of Python installed. I use Linux Mint, which comes 
with both Python 2.x and 3.x.  I have one program that requires 
Python3.7, and I have that installed, too.  I start that program from 
the command line with "python3.7 <program_name>", only because I haven't 
yet bothered to add that to the menu or add an icon on the desktop.  I 
can't imagine that the same thing can't be done on Mac, and a quick web 
search turned up this:
