Windows Calibre Portable to Mac

Hello. I have an old Windows computer with an extensive collection of my books in caliber portable. When I try to export, I receive the message

You are running calibre portable, all calibre data is already in the calibre portable folder. Export/import is unavailable.

I believe the portable version is 4.

Please assist me in getting the caliber portable library onto my Mac running the latest version Mac OS.

Thank you.

You can copy the library onto a USB stick and on the MAC, copy the library from the USB stick.

Thank you very much. I had tried to copy the library folder into the Mac installation without success. However, adding books from a single folder worked.

All books are now in my library on the mac!
