Install PilotLog on Mac

CrewLounge PILOTLOG Installation on Mac

CrewLounge PILOTLOG is developed as a cross-platform independent application, which means it can be installed directly on your Mac but it may not have the same look and feel as native Mac software. 

The installation process on Mac can feel cumbersome, but it’s a one-time setup. You will not need to repeat these steps for future updates.

System Requirements

• Apple 64-bit system
• macOS (OS X Mavericks or later)

Installation Steps

Step 1: Install the MONO Framework

• Download and install MONO Framework (version 5.18.0)
• This framework is required for application development support.

Step 2: Install XQuartz

• Download and install XQuartz for Mac OS (version 2.7.11)
• XQuartz provides an X Window environment, allowing cross-platform graphical applications to run on your Mac.

Step 3: Install Rosetta

• On newer Macs with Apple Silicon (M1, M2, etc.), install Rosetta.
• Rosetta is developed by Apple and works as a translation layer, enabling Intel-based apps to run on Apple Silicon.

Step 4: Install CrewLounge PILOTLOG

• Download and install CrewLounge PILOTLOG for Mac OS (version 5.2)

Step 5: Launch using "PILOTLOG.app" 

• Launch the application by searching (CMD + Space) for the "PILOTLOG.app" launcher on your Mac, such as in the screenshot below.
• For the first time logging into the application, do take note that it may take up to 10 minutes for data to be synced from the cloud

Important Note

macOS may block the CrewLounge PILOTLOG installer. If this happens, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and click “Open Anyway” (see Image 1) to continue the installation.
