Linux/Mac

Linux and Mac builds of the tools may not occur as regularly as Windows, especially in a combined installer. With Mac Intel processors support ending and the development team not having a newer Mac to test, MacOS releases will be on hold for the time being. However you may build the tools yourself by following the instructions on Github.

For Linux and MacOS, the optional SSURGO/STATSGO soils and WGN databases should be downloaded from the SWAT+ SQLite Datasets install section as they are not included in the installers.

First, check to see if there is a new version for Linux or Mac in the tool's release page:

• QSWAT+

• SWAT+ Editor

• SWAT+ Model

• SWAT+ Toolbox (coming soon)

Or, visit the repository's main page for instructions to build yourself:

• QSWAT+

• SWAT+ Editor

• SWAT+ Model

If the above options will not work, as a LAST RESORT, you may download old 2.3 versions of QSWAT+/SWAT+ Editor. This is not recommended as the model is over 2 years out of date in this version. If you are attending a workshop, please use either the Windows version or one of the above options only.

See detailed installation instructions for the Linux and MacOS builds below here.

• SWAT+ Tools v2.3 for Linux 64-bit

• SWAT+ Tools v2.3 for MacOS Intel 64-bit

• SWAT+ Tools v2.3 for MacOS Arm M1/M2
