Please read the instructions for license information, or contact Research Computing for assistance. More information is also at this library guide: https://researchguides.dartmouth.edu/gis/software

ArcGIS software does not currently run on the Mac OS. Mac users can install a “virtual machine” and run Windows inside their Mac OS, or they can use an open-source GIS software package such as QGIS.

QGIS can be downloaded and installed from their site: https://www.qgis.org/en/site/

QGIS is a good option for Mac Computers. It is an open-source application similar to ArcGIS Desktop.

Dartmouth College has an “ArcGIS Online” enterprise GIS system. You can log in with your Dartmouth NetID and password at the following link:

Please contact Research Computing or the Dartmouth College Library if you have questions about ArcGIS Online.

Another option is Google Maps. With a Gmail account, users can log in to Google’s “MyMaps” application and work with spatial data in the Google Maps environment.

Research Computing offers numerous software, licenses, and Life Science Informatics tools and services. Please contact Christian Darabos directly for more information.
