 What OS do you have? 
 I'm trying to get it on my Mac pro.  
 Intel CPU? 
 Idk, I have touched a laptop before this one in over 10 years. This one is like 4 years old. My wife gave it to me when she got a new one. I'll find out after I slap my meatsticks on it for a while. Please hold....🎶 
 You could also compile it yourself for mac. All you need is rust and some libraries. 
 Sorry did I mention I am a reh-tard when it comes to computers? 
Think of your grandad and now replace me with him and put him in front of a computer.  
 did you already try just running the release binary? https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip/releases 
 the darwin ARM one is likely what you want 
 it's been a long time since PowerPC and Motorola chips in macs 
 It’s been a little while since Intel in Apple too. 
 they aren't intel anymore? what are they? some ARM derivative now?

they sure didn't make much fanfare about this 
 It was a huge deal and many announcements were made. 😂 Guessing you’re not a Mac guy. 

Yes, custom arm arch. They’re the M series chips. Much, much better perf and battery life. 

2020 was the last Intel model. 
 yeh i'm a "mac is a cult" guy, thanks for updating me tho

i'm also a desktop pc guy, i hate mobile devices and radio networking 
 Idk about cult, they haven’t offered me any cool-aid yet. I hope it doesn’t develop that serious. 😬 
 most mac users are irritating hipsters 
 If given the choice, I'd stear clear of Mac and phones tbh. I'm a die hard Android user now. I used to have an iPhone 4 back in the way back days. Lost it and never looked back. 
 i quit using windows around 2013 and never had the budget for mac in the first place, or iphone... on top of my perception of the abusive manipulation that the apple marketing machine engages in
