No nere ro point that out, the text above said UNIX, didn't it?

It requires an
X-Windows environment such as Apple's X-11, which is standard with

OS
10.7 and below. Beginning with 10.8 one must download and install


So Xephem runs natively on older versions of Mac-OS, butik the
current Mac-OS needs some extras to run Xephem....
