Help! Can you run Calibre on Mac OS 10.5.8?

Hi,

I know this is probably a very silly question but I wanted to know if I am able to download and run Calibre on my old Mac, currently the best operating system I have is 10.5.8

Thanks

I believe 10.5.8 is Leopard. The calibre download site says

Quote:

Note

If you are using OS X Tiger or a PowerPC Mac, the last version of calibre that will work on your machine is 0.7.28, available here .
The app cannot be run from within the dmg. You must drag it to a folder on your filesystem (The Desktop, Applications, wherever).
To install the command line tools, go to Preferences->Advanced->Miscellaneous
In order for localization of the user interface in your language, select your language in the preferences (by pressing ⌘+P) and select your language.

so as long as you are on an Intel based Mac you should be fine.

Thank you! I didn't know that this version was called Leopard, I'm not very tech smart :S

Please ask Calibre questions in the Calibre forum. That's what it's there for.
