Dear all, I was wondering if anyone knows whether MGLtools and Autodock can run on Mac OS?

I have tried to download the 64-bit version of MGLtools however, as many times as I have downloaded and uninstall the programs, an error arises that the app needs to be updated. Thank you.

If you need a GUI, use ONYX:

http://onyx.brandmaier.de/

If you are comfortable with R, use the OpenMx, Lavaan, or SEM packages.

Kelly-Ann Allen

Another way around this, Chris is to use a virtual box where you essentially have windows installed on your mac so you can use all software.

Christopher Boyle

Thanks for your answers, Rorbert and Kelly. very helpful. I am comfortable using SPSS so it looks like i may have to get one of the virtual PC products.

The definitive program for SEM as of now is Mplus.

It has capabilities for almost every type of data, it can perform all types of analyses in currently use, and there is really a lot of learning material. It has an easy command language, since the most used default conditions are implemented, but it is possible to overrule these. There is a subroutine, called Diagrammer, which will show the models graphically for most analyses.

Mplus is available on the MAC, the only difference is that in order to get data plots you have to use the R program with the HDF5 package. Or you may install the program using a virtual box utility as mentioned by Kelly. (However, ask the Mplus team to be sure that Mplus works with virtual box).

Best,
