Unable to install

Unable to install
Hi, I'm new to the board, and was excited to learn about OSCAR.   But when I tried to install it on my iMac, was told that it wouldn't install.  Maybe my computer's too old?  Any suggestions?  I'm so frustrated.  I've been using my cpap since before the pandemic, and not feeling any increased energy or improvement.  I've never found a soul able to help me with all the glitches I've run into, and was really hopeful that OSCAR would shed some light.

RE: Unable to install
I take it you mean El Capitan, which is 10.11.6. If you can upgrade to Sierra or High Sierra - depending on you model - you should be able to install OSCAR from the sleepfiles download site. The current requirement is for 10.12.x or newer.

If you have Apple's development packages, and the corresponding QT development installation, you probably can build OSCAR from the Sources on gitlab.

RE: Unable to install
Thank you so much for your quick reply!  Yes, I had already followed the instructions on wiki, and it said it couldn't support the program, and rejected it when I attempted to add it to my Applications.  I don't really understand computers, so will try to get someone to help me upload to the Sierra version, as it is El Capitan.  Thank you!!
