Running Windows applications on your Mac is not impossible and there are various solutions to complete the task. The first idea that comes to mind is to actually install a Windows operating on your Mac by using Boot Camp but that means that you must restart your computer to switch between the operating systems.
(Apple did make one exception for OS X 10.6, which never had a code-name beyond Snow Leopard.) Though Apple's external code-names for OS X switched to California places in 2013, the internal code-names remained wine-based until 2014. In 2015, the development team switched to types of apples, with OS X 10.11 El Capitan (AKA 'Gala').
On the other hand, you can choose to create a virtual machine via different emulators and run the apps natively but that might prove to be time consuming to set up and a bit demanding on the resources side.
- Wine (originally an acronym for 'Wine Is Not an Emulator') is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, & BSD.
- Download WINE for Darwin and Mac OS X for free. Use Wine (Wine Is Not an Emulator) to run Windows applications on Darwin and Mac OS X.
- CrossOver is a polished version of Wine provided by CodeWeavers. CrossOver makes it easier to use Wine and CodeWeavers provides excellent technical support to its users. All purchases of CrossOver are used to directly fund the developers working on Wine. So CrossOver is both a great way to get support in using Wine and to support the Wine Project.
Run Windows programs seamlessly on your Mac
Wine, which stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator, takes a different approach: since macOS is POSIX compliant, Wine translates the Windows API calls into POSIX calls in order to be understood by Apple’s operating system. The conversion is done on-the-fly and enables you to integrate Windows applications into your workflow in no time.
Support for a wide array of Windows programs
Wine is a free software and volunteers work to provide out-of-the-box support for different applications. You can find which apps are Wine compatible, submit requests, view statistics and much more Wine Application Database page.
The Wine developers provide the source code which you can compile yourself or you can use some of the unofficial binaries. Probably the most popular Wine binary release is Mike Kronenberg’s Wine.app which you can find Wine.app page. Additionally, you can use the Darwine team build which can be downloaded from the Darwine page.

Use Windows apps without restarting your Mac
Wine is great if you need to run Windows native applications on your Mac without having to use Boot Camp and restart your system. Setting up virtual machines takes slightly more time, more resources and you might have issues if you need the Windows app to interact with your macOS.
Wine simply translates the commands to a language that macOS understands: this way the resources usage is reduced and you can run apps right out of the box.
