Installing/Using Azhagi+ in Mac OS
On 06-June-2023, one of Azhagi's users (இந்திரா புகைப்படக் கலைக்கூடம்) asked me whether he can install and use Azhagi in Mac OS. As usual (as I do whenever such requests emerge), I wrote to him on the following lines:
Yes, but only in WIN-e environment. One needs some software knowledge to install WIN-e (which of course is free and open source), and then Azhagi, Microsoft Office, etc. inside it. Some of the Mac users have done it and feeling happy/relieved using Azhagi perfecfly in Mac OS also. Details are present in - helptips.php#azmaclinuxandroid
Direct installation of Azhagi+ in Mac OS (as you do in Windows OS) is not possible, as of now. God-willing, if ever time/situation permits, Azhagi+ for MAC may get created in future.
Having me replied so as above, on 6-June-2023, By God's Grace, on 7th June 2023, one user (not known to me) had hosted the video below (titled "Mac OS Tamil Azhagi Software Install 2023") helping one to know the method of how to install Azhagi in 'Parallels' (instead of WIN-e). That led me to see another related video by the same user and also read quite a few related/helpful web pages. I thought I will create a new web page itself (the one you are reading now) to consolidate and share the knowledge I gained regarding 'installing and using Azhagi in Mac OS'. Hence, on 9th June 2023, I created this page.
Note: Installing Azhagi+ in 'Parallels' is again NOT a direct installation of Azhagi+ in Mac, as you do in Windows.
After seeing the above video, I saw the video below (titled Run Windows 11 on M1 Mac / Parallels 8 / 2022), next.
Upon seeing the above 2 videos, I searched in net and got to read the following page:
https://www.intego.com/mac-security-blog/how-to-run-windows-11-for-free-on-an-m1-or-m2-mac/
(How to Run Windows 11 for Free on an M1 or M2 Mac)
Reading the above page led me to read the following pages too:
I think Parallels is easier than WIN-e. Only thing is it is for a cost (it is $100 for the standard version; a 14-day trial version exists too ). At the same time, UTM, a product similar to Parallels is available and UTM IS FREE. One can read more info on UTM in the page already shared above - https://www.intego.com/mac-security-blog/how-to-run-windows-11-for-free-on-an-m1-or-m2-mac/. How good UTM is when compared to Parallels, I have no idea.
So, that's what all that I know, as on 09-Jun-2023. Any Mac user, having installed Parallels or UTM and using Azhagi happily in them, can share more details on how it is all done (installation/setup/etc.), how much time it takes, how smooth it is in operation, what all software (MS Office, Adobe applications, ..., .., .) one had to duplicate both in Max and Parallels, etc.

Run Windows on your Mac without rebooting
Once 'Windows 11 Insider Preview Arm build' file is downloaded in your Mac system, one can install Parallels and Windows 11 inside it. Thereafter, Azhagi can be installed in 'Windows 11' and used from therein. Other necessary Windows software too can be installed in the Windows 11 present inside 'Parallels'.I think Parallels is easier than WIN-e. Only thing is it is for a cost (it is $100 for the standard version; a 14-day trial version exists too ). At the same time, UTM, a product similar to Parallels is available and UTM IS FREE.
