Can I use mozaBook on an Apple MacOS computer?
On mozaweb.com, in the Media library, every digital content can be accessed independently of the platform. Moreover, presentations created in mozaBook –exercise books– can be opened, edited and modified using the toolbar, and new ones can be made as well.
To run the mozaBook software, you need Windows. You need to install Windows on a virtual machine on a computer running a Mac OS X (iMac, MacBook). You will need a Windows Installer, a valid Windows activation code and a virtual machine software, e.g. Oracle's freely available Virtualbox, as well as 50 GB of free disk space.
You can download the Windows Installer for free from the Microsoft home page.
To download Virtualbox, open the following page and click on the 'OS X hosts' link. You may need administrator rights or a password to install the software.
Once VirtualBox is successfully installed and launched on your computer, click on the 'New' button in the top left corner of the program window to create a new virtual machine. Select the Microsoft Windows operating system and the Windows 10 or 11 version. By clicking on the 'Next' button, the software will ask you how much RAM you wish to allocate for the virtual machine, and you will need to specify the size of the hard drive.
You need to allocate at least 2GB RAM, but if your computer has a lot of memory, it is recommended to allocate 4GB or more for the virtual machine, up to half of the amount of RAM in your computer. To see how much RAM is installed in your computer, click on the Apple logo in the top left corner of the screen and then on 'About this Mac' menu item.
Set the size of the hard drive to at least 40GB and select Dynamically allocated as the physical storage type.
Once the virtual machine has been created, click on the Settings button to access the settings of the virtual machine. Then click on the 'Storage' menu and select the 'Empty' CD drive. Then click on the CD icon on the right side of the screen to find the Windows 10 installer you have previously downloaded from the Microsoft home page.
Click on OK to apply the storage settings and open the virtual machine by clicking on the Start button marked with a green arrow. This will start the Windows installation. Following these steps, the Windows operation system will run in a separate window within macOS. In this window, you can install and run mozaBook as you would on a Windows computer.
