Details (no need to read unless you experience issues and/or are curious):

  • The version for ARM processors was compiled on an ARM-based Mac running macOS 15.2 (Sequoia) but was confirmed to work on older macOS versions as well, including macOS 14.2.1 (Sonoma) and macOS 11.2.3 (Big Sur).
  • The version for Intel processors was compiled on an Intel-based Mac running macOS 10.15.7 (Catalina) but was confirmed to work on newer macOS versions as well, including macOS 11.7.8 (Big Sur).
  • All versions provided here include the GNU Readline library.
  • Current version (recommended):
  • Older versions:
  • Older versions that require XQuartz and hence are not recommended: Please note that you MUST install X11/XQuartz to use these versions. Do not forget to reboot your computer after the installation, or the X11 terminal within Gnuplot will not work. Moreover, these versions do not feature the cairo/wxt terminals. Versions 5.4.1 and 5.4.0 were compiled on OS X 10.15.6 (Catalina) and the versions up to 5.2.8 were compiled on OS X 10.11.6 (El Capitan). All these versions were confirmed to work also on macOS 10.13 (High Sierra), 10.14 (Mojave), and 10.15 (Catalina).
    • 5.4.1 (December 15, 2020)
    • 5.4.0 (September 23, 2020)
    • 5.2.8 (December 2, 2019)
    • 5.2.7 (May 31, 2019)
    • 5.2.6 (January 1, 2019)
    • 5.2.5 (October 7, 2018)
    • 5.2.4 (does not include PNG, JPEG, and GIF terminals)
    • 5.2.3 (does not include PNG, JPEG, and GIF terminals)
    • 5.2.2 (does not include PNG, JPEG, and GIF terminals)

Trouble-shooting

  • If you receive an error message "dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/X11/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib", please make sure you have installed the most recent version of X11/XQuartz.
  • Note for users of the "png" terminal: On some versions of OS X, such as Catalina, the "Arial" font has been moved and you will receive an error message when you do "set terminal png". To fix this, issue the following command before starting gnuplot: export GDFONTPATH=/Library/Fonts:/Library/Fonts/Microsoft:/System/Library/Fonts:/System/Library/Fonts/Supplemental
