Andrew,
I¡¯m sorry but I can¡¯t remember. It must have been fairly easy or I wouldn¡¯t have managed it.
I do know that I access it from the terminal by typing;
cd nanovna-saver (ENTER)
NanoVNASaver (ENTER)
and it¡¯s running.
It is running directly on my Mac running High Sierra and not via Wine or other emulator.
I hope this is of some help.

I think the original question was how to run Brian Beezley's COIL program (which is Windows/DOS)
that is *non-trivial* on a Mac - the *easiest* way is to fire up a virtual machine of some sort, but that requires you have a copy of Windows to install on the VM (Parallels, Virtual Box, etc.) - then you run the VM, and you just install COIL and go to town. That's what I did (using Parallels on my Mac).
You could also set up your computer as multi-boot and just boot Windows on whatever computer you've got.? Bootcamp on a Mac is one way of doing this.
The other way is to install WINE, which provides a "windows like" OS interface to the program - that works on either Linux, or, I think Mac.
