Omniscope is available for MacOS; the latest version of OS X is required.


Installation instructions (Omniscope version 2020.1 onwards)

Due to additional restrictions by Apple, we no longer distribute the Mac version as a DMG file. It's now distributed as a TGZ archive, which must be installed as follows.


  1. Download the desired VisokioOmniscope-Mac.tgz file from our download page.
  2. Extract the file by double-clicking it. Visokio Omniscope.app will appear. You can now delete the tgz file.
  3. Drag Visokio Omniscope.app into your Applications folder.
  4. Launch the Visokio Omniscope application by double-clicking it. 
  5. Follow these instructions to permit it to run.
  6. Final step, on first run you will be prompted to insert your credentials to complete the data engine setup. A dialog with this message will appear "Omniscope Data Engine requires admin privileges to complete installation". Follow the instructions to finalise the installation.




Limitations 


There are some limitations in the current Mac version of Omniscope, primarily because the Mac has a fundamentally different operating system from Windows PCs. E.g. some Microsoft Office interoperability is not present. You can also only open one instance of Omniscope Classic at a time.
