From the release notes:

@vova

For Mac users who are not yet able to update to macOS 12 or later, we’re also making a pre-update installer available as a temporary option. This version will not receive future updates or security fixes, and may become incompatible with current Roon Remote or ARC versions over time. You can find the installer here.

Going forward, you need macOS 12 (Monterey), but most Intel Macs that don’t get the update from Apple can easily be updated with OCLP:

Upcoming Roon Minimum System Requirements

It’s really just: Download the installer app Start the installer app, insert USB stick into Mac, click Create macOS Installer and choose the USB stick Start another app and click button to choose what you want to do (i.e., Build and Install OpenCore) Reboot Mac and start from the inserted USB stick The instructions are step by step with pictures, it’s not more difficult than installing Roon ROCK (I’d say less difficult) and everyone managed that. But up to you, a Nucleus One or new Mac Min…

Hey @andrea20cm,

@Suedkiez is correct with the above reply.

With that, for Mac users who are not yet able to update to macOS 12 or later, we’re also making a pre-update installer available as a temporary option. This version will not receive future updates or security fixes, and may become incompatible with current Roon Remote or ARC versions over time. You can find the installer here.

Thanks, Andrea

Hey @andrea20cm,

Thanks for the reply - as mentioned above:

This version will not receive future updates or security fixes, and may become incompatible with current Roon Remote or ARC versions over time.

There will not be any future updates to this version of Roon. If you’re interested in exploring OCLP as @Suedkiez mentioned above, that may be a viable option for you.
