The 1C company has finally included custom applications that work with operating system macOS (OS X) 10.8 or later. Implemented thick and and configurator for 64-bit architecture, so the accountant has the opportunity not only to use ready-made software products, but also develop versions for your own needs.
Previously, to install 1C: Enterprises under OS X used emulators Windows applications, for example, CrossOver. Correct setting entire forums were devoted to programs from 1C on Macs. The new product for mac OS has been developed taking into account the specifics of Apple computers (for example, Retina technology) and does not require additional crutches for installation.
To get acquainted with the capabilities of the presented product 1C:Enterprise for mac OS X, the delivery set of the platform 8.3.7.1845 contains a demo version of the infobase in the form separate file with .dt extension.
The client for OS X allows not only working with 1C:Enterprise application solutions, but also full-fledged development of configurations.
The possibility of full-fledged functioning of 1C mac OS X imposes its own limitations:
One machine can be installed at the same time different versions application client (as in Windows, under different licenses). Accounting app for mac OS works with different services and 1C:Enterprise components developed for other operating systems, if the platform versions are the same. 
Hardware and software tools protection.
To use the dongle, the HASP driver is written and installed in the directory for storing binary files on its own from the developer's site. To install the software, the "dinst" script must be run as administrator through the Terminal with the "sudo ./dinst" command.
Functionality of 1C:Enterprise for macOS, not provided in the version, but planned for implementation:
The new development is introductory and only in limited cases can be used to solve the work tasks of automating organizations. While it is free, it does not require a separate license. The final 1C product for macOS will be developed based on user feedback and suggestions.
Setup files for the presented version are available for download on the server 1C: Software Update. The documentation for the 1C:Enterprise 8.3.7 platform contains information on the client application for 1C mac OS.
For a long time, the 1C:Enterprise platform was only available for Windows. 1C listened to the wishes of its customers and developed a long-awaited version of the platform for Mac OS and Linux. Now users have the opportunity to run the infobase on the operating system on which they are accustomed and comfortable to work. Although the Mac OS platform is still in beta testing, based on feedback from our company's specialists, it is stable and fast. For more than a year of 1C:Enterprise operation on Mac, no freezes, errors, or other factors hindering the full functioning of the system were found.
In this article, we will demonstrate how to properly install the 1C platform on Mac OS. You'll also learn how to set up security keys if you're using a physical key, and how to activate a PIN if you have an electronic security key.
We hope that our guide will help you start working in 1C on Mac OS and enjoy it. Apple's operating system is distinguished by reliability, stability, security, performance, and, of course, excellent design.
Let's start with preparation. First you need to download the 1C platform for Mac OS from personal account on the website of the ITS Portal. Login and password, if you do not already have them, you can get from your service organization or register yourself.
Step 1. On the ITS Portal website, go to the "1C: Software Update" section (Fig. 1).

Step 8 The clientosx_8_3_15_1534.dmg distribution is a small installer for Mac OS. By clicking on it twice, the distribution kit appears in file manager Finder as a mounted volume (similar to an inserted flash drive, but only software). After the installation is completed, the program can also be extracted in the Finder by clicking on the arrow icon (Fig. 8).

Step 9 After the archive is "mounted", it will open. To do this, double-click on the 1cv8-client-8.3.15.1534.pkg file and start installing 1C on Mac OS. From installation to windows process little different. It is also possible that the installer will ask you to enter an administrator password for your computer. During installation, follow the instructions on the screen (Fig. 9).

Step 14 If you have a 1C delivery with an electronic security key, then you need to activate it (because when you try to start 1C, a window will appear asking you to activate the system). This is easy to do: enter the registration number of the program and the PIN code, then follow the instructions on the screen.
If you have a security key in the form of a USB flash drive, then you will need to install HASP for Mac in order for your system to "see" the key. You can download the HASP for Mac installer on the 1C website. You need to choose latest version installer. At the time of this writing, this is: 7.63 from 05/14/18. Next, select "Driver for Mac OS" (Fig. 14).

Step 17 Installation starts. Follow the instructions on the screen, everything is quite simple here. After installing the driver, insert the key into the USB port of your computer. The key should glow red, which means that the driver is installed and the system “sees” it.
Let's return to the issue of adding infobases, which we wrote about in paragraph 13. Add new base in the event that you plan to keep records from scratch and you need an empty database. In order to create an empty database, press the add button (Fig. 17).
Rice. 17. Window "Adding infobase"
Step 18 We leave the switch on the item "Creating a new infobase" and click the "Next" button. Then you will need to select a template (Fig. 18), from which you can create not only an empty database, but also a database with the desired configuration (for example, "1C: Accounting", "1C: Payroll and personnel management", etc.)

Step 22 As a result of all actions, an empty database will be created. After that, you can load into an empty database or your archive, if it exists, or a CF file with the desired configuration. You can download the template with the configuration on the same resource of the ITS Portal. To do this, you need to find the latest distribution. If you download the “Update Distribution Kit” to download updates, then in this case you need to find “ Full distribution» (fig.22)
