I am having issues installing WeatherLink Software on a Mac
Apple has made major changes to macOS Catalina and onward where WeatherLink Software is no longer supported nor will successfully install on Macs running macOS Catalina and onward.
The JAVA SE 6.0 that powered WeatherLink Software is no longer being allowed to install on macOS Catalina and onward. Currently we do not have any workarounds to install WeatherLink Software on macOS.
Here are the current available options:
- Some Mac users can install Windows on a "virtual machine" on their Mac, then install the Windows version of WeatherLink Software on the Windows virtual machine. However, this solution isn't the easiest, especially for Mac users with an Apple Silicon Mac.
- There are third-party Mac weather station apps discussed on weather station forums. Howevver, Davis Instruments Technical Support cannot provide assistance with these apps or provide any recommendations concerning these app.
- Our recommended solution for Mac users is to move to WeatherLink.com. The WeatherLink.com platform runs on any web browser which is best-suited for Mac users. You can easily publish your weather station data to WeatherLink.com with a WeatherLink Live or WeatherLink Console.
