Hi team, 

I am experiencing challenges to install PBI Desktop on my MacBook.

My machine specifications are as follows:

M2 Max (96GB of RAM) 

12-core CPU

38-core GPU

16-core Neural Engine

Any help is appreciated!!!

@sifos90611  I would also add that you can use the online editor for models and measures in Power BI Service.

@Riya28 I have a similar laptop. I use Parallels with windows 11. I can easily run multiple virtual machines and use conherence mode to work on multiple monitors or connect an ipad as a second monitor.

Microsoft have also now made it possible to edit the model in the cloud (preview).

Hi @Riya28 ,

Currently, Power BI Desktop is only supported on Windows systems and is not available for direct installation on Mac.

If you want to use Power BI Desktop on your Mac computer, you can consider running it on a virtual machine or cloud service. Besides, here is an Idea similar to yours, you can vote for it. If an idea is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

Best Regards,
