Unfortunately there is no official MacOS release.

To build it yourself, you should follow the precise explanation from Ryan Baumann: https://ryanfb.github.io/etc/2018/08/17/alicevision_and_meshroom_on_mac_os_x.html

Please contact us if you are successfully building it and are ready to contribute to an official release for MacOS.

To avoid build problems, best use the source code from the 2019.2 release (https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/archive/v2019.2.0.zip / https://github.com/alicevision/AliceVision/archive/v2.2.0.zip)

Note: CUDA 10.2 (Toolkit and NVIDIA driver) is the last release to support macOS for developing and running CUDA applications. Support for macOS will not be available starting with the next release of CUDA. https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-toolkit-release-notes/index.html

Apple ditched Nvidia support, so new Macs don`t have a Nvidia GPU and even NVIDIA eGPUs are not supported.

In the future, Apple will switch to ARM CPUs, which will add an additional issue for building, so an official MacOS build becomes even more unlikely.
