Running Quartus on Mac without VM Software

I would like to run Quartus on a Mac without using VM Software? is this possible with the web edition. I am currently running OX 10.6.8 but could upgrade if needed. Thanks.

Possibly run linux under qemu?

I'd run VirtualBox before trying Qemu - one less layer of emulation ...

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/downloads

I haven't tried it under MAC OS, but it works well from both WinXP, Win7, and Linux hosts. The USB-Blaster can be captured by the virtual machine under both Linux and WinXP. I couldn't get it working under Win7, but it may have been a permissions issue. I suspect that since Linux works, MACs will work ok too.

Cheers,

Dave
