AccountRight is designed for use on the Windows operating system. Consider using MYOB AccountEdge which is designed for the Mac, or MYOB Business which runs in a web browser and can be used on both on Windows and Mac.

If you want to install AccountRight on an Apple Mac, you'll need to install Windows on your Mac first.
