# Can I run the connector on a Mac?

No, Apple does not provide a server platform since the XServe. The connector is supported on Linux, Windows, various embedded platfor[ms like Synology, pfSense, Mikrotik, etc. To run the connector on an Apple Mac, you may use the Docker instructions (see ](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/mac-install/)Install Docker Desktop on Mac).

If you are an enthusiast, consider running the connector under Docker on your Mac.
