Mac Graphical User Interface

The Ion Mobility Dashboard was originally tested and developed on an intel-based (x86 architecture) Mac. Limited development has been performed on an M1 Mac due to an unsupported Proteowizard (MSconvert) docker image. New versions of Docker Desktop may eventually be able to emulate the x86 architecture on M1 but this has not been seen yet.

Installation

Two applications are required to run workflows: Docker Desktop, and Ion_Mob_MacOS (note to dev: this needs to be rebuilt).

Mac Installation:

1. Download Ion_Mob_MacOS.zip. Ensure this is version 1.1, or “DOI 10.5281/zenodo.6941767”.

2. Download Docker Desktop for Mac.

3. Restart computer if prompted with Docker Desktop.

4. Open Docker Desktop then Ion_Mob_MacOS.

Note Docker Desktop must be open before Ion_Mob_MacOS is started.
