X.data did not install on Mac Tahoe. I got message saying it not supported. What is the minimum requirement on Mac?

IBM is excited to announce the launch of watsonx.data developer edition, a free desktop application that makes it easier than ever for developers and data engineers to explore, prototype and learn in a complete data lakehouse environment.
Data lakehouses offer the flexibility of data lakes and the performance of warehouses. But for many developers, managing and querying these environments can be daunting. Traditional setups require deep technical expertise, complex configurations and costly infrastructure.
With watsonx.data developer edition, IBM is removing those barriers. Developers, data engineers and data scientists can now set up a full-featured lakehouse environment in minutes-without worrying about cloud dependencies, infrastructure complexity or time-limited trial versions.
