Description Of Issue
How do I install Roon to the server to use as my core?
Do you want to install it on the Mac or the Nas?
The Mac software is here https://roonlabs.com/downloads
I think you get the Synology SW via the Synology control software, like an add in.
Are you wanting to use the Mac Mini as your Core machine or the Synology as your Core machine? First, you’ll want to make sure that whichever machine you use as your Core meets our requirements.
