## Installing on macOS

The CI system builds the package on macOS Big Sur and should run on systems as
"old" as Mojave.  It may run on earlier versions of macOS, but that has not
been tested.

Starting with version 20210203-095643-70a364eb, WezTerm is a Universal binary
with support for both Apple Silicon and Intel hardware.
