+//Takin// is developed under Linux and the newest version can be always compiled directly from [[https://github.com/ILLGrenoble/takin|this Github repository]] (previously:
+[[https://github.com/ILLGrenoble/takin/wiki/History|multiple repositories have been used]]). From time to time, we compile [[https://forge.frm2.tum.de/public/takin/|prepared packages]] for Ubuntu, RedHat, macOS and Windows.
+There is not yet an installer of Takin for Mac and Windows. Compiled versions can run standalone without any installation.
+===== macOS =====
+    - [[takin:download|Download latest Mac version]].
+    - Use control-click on downloaded file and select "open" (because app is currently unsigned)
