Here is a quick update about installing polymake on Mac OS. polymake can be installed on all current versions (Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura). There is a binary build for Mac OS 11.3 on intel Macs here . We cannot provide binaries for Macs with M1 or newer OS versions (lack of hardware to build the bin...

The missing gmp is a bit mysterious to me. Is brew installed at /usr/local/ (is there a folder /usr/local/Homebrew/)?
Is there a gmp.h at ?

The bundles don't work on newer macs. We are in the process of creting new ones, but that will still take some time.

I can't explain the first problem about decompressing the tar archive. Does your browser decompress automatically, but keep the file name? Anyway, you got the sources. The pages indeed haven't updated for a year now, but the general process should still be correct. From the second error I assume tha...

It may help do remove the quarantine bit for polymake with sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/polymake.app/ but I am pretty sure that the bundle for 11.3 will not work on 13.1 due to different perl versions and some other changes in the system. It certainly won't if you have a Mac w...

Installing through command line: We do not have a Mac with an M1 or M2 processor, so we cannot test installation or precompile homebrew binaries for it. If you post the error messages you get we may give you some ideas how to solve them. Using the bundle: This is most likely a problem with access re...

The error from flint would suggest that you actually build polymake on Big Sur, not on Monterey. But if it works this should be fine. The JSON-module is apparantly not found while configuring, but it is found at start. Those are installed at $HOME/perl5/lib/perl5:$HOME/perl5 and as you have probably...

What happens if you try to start polymake? Does it print anything to the terminal? It seems that perl on Monterey does not provide the modules XML::SAX and Term::ReadKey. polymake needs both. It should state this again when you try to start the program, though. You can try to add the modules with cp...

The bundle should be fixed now and contain the latest version 4.6

Indeed, this bundle is broken. I am sorry. I was preparing bundles for the new version of polymake anyway, so I thought I provide this instead, but this currently does not work for Mac OS 11 (Big Sur). I have to investigate the reason and will publish the bundle once I found and fixed the problem. T...

Sorry, I linked the wrong package. Copy&paste.
