Scientific Applications under Mojave Update 6
Whilst there are many sites that track the compatibility on common desktop applications, it is often difficult to find out information about scientific applications. Based on the number of page views on the lists for High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan and Yosemite it is apparently a useful resource.
Apple has said that macOS 10.14 (Mojave) will run on every Mac released from 2012 onwards. Always a good idea to have a Time machine backup when undertaking a major update like this.
Much like prior versions of Mac OS, you can easily create a bootable install drive for MacOS Mojave 10.14. The initial installer is small (15 MB) but after the main installer has successfully downloaded (5GB+), when you are prompted to start the installation process, click Cancel, and the installer will be in the /Applications folder (Install macOS Mojave.app). You must make a copy of this to another location; otherwise if you launch the installer and it completes the Mojave update, it'll be deleted. I found installing or updating to macOS Mojave takes about 45 - 60 minutes depending on the age of the machine.
I’ll update the list regularly and please feel free to send in information.
