## 1\. How to install Turbo C++ for macOS

| Step 1 | [Download Turbo C++](https://developerinsider.co/downloading/?download=https://github.com/vineetchoudhary/TurboCPP/releases/download/v4.0/TurboCPP-macOS-x86%5F64.dmg?raw=true&after=https://developerinsider.co/c-and-cpp-insider/) |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Step 2 | Open the downloaded disk image (TurboCPP-macOS-x86\_64.dmg) and drag TurboCPP-Intel.app to **Applications**                                                                                                                          |
| Step 3 | Eject the disk image after the copy finishes.                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| Step 4 | Open **Turbo C++ (Intel)** installed as TurboCPP-Intel.app application from **Applications**.                                                                                                                                        |
| Step 5 | Select **Start Turbo C++** to launch the IDE, or choose a source-file or project action.                                                                                                                                             |

The application includes its runtime components. A separate DOSBox, .NET runtime, Homebrew installation, or Rosetta installation is unnecessary for this native Apple silicon build.
