Please note: ARM64 OpenSpace builds do not have the molecule module. Please see https://github.com/OpenSpace/OpenSpace/issues/3918

Additionally, OpenSpace 0.22 onwards require OpenGL 4.6+. When running OpenSpace with software emulated OpenGL via UTM on Apple silicon Macs, for example, as of April 2026, mesa would provide only OpenGL 4.5. Hence, OpenSpace would not run. The error message and workaround are mentioned at https://github.com/hn-88/OpenSpace-AppImage/issues/109

The VC++ runtime had been installed, and the machine restarted before trying OpenSpace again, but still the errors above were seen.
