[Qgis-user] Current status: multiple versions on Mac

[William Kyngesburye]

Except that the official installer doesn't work on Sierra.

My packages (the other official installer) do work for Sierra, BUT they're old, only 3.4 (old LTR) and 3.8.  I'm way behind on updating these, but I'm close, and I will be making Sierra the minimum so they'll still work for Mac user.  My naming method is to not use folders, just name the app with the version (at least to distinguish LTR from current).

Note that they are not the fully all-in-one that some people like, I prefer to have some of the tools (python, GDAL) easily accessible from a Terminal and scripts and usable by other software (ie PostGIS uses GDAL, PROJ and GEOS), so they separately installed outside the QGIS app (but all provided on the QGIS disk image).
