    Is developing TPT in macos big sur is possible? I don't want to install any bootcamp or stuff.

    Try following the guide on the wiki: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Building_TPT_with_Meson.html#MacOS_.28tested_on_macos_10.15.29

    If you run into any problems, post them on the forums. I don't remember which macOS version exactly TPT was tested with, but in general TPT can be compiled and developed on macs.

     I can't run meson after doing every thing.

    Can you give me the logs of what you are doing? Logs can be posted to https://bpa.st/ if they are long.

    Hmm. The wiki didn't work, so I got the meson tar.gz file, posted everything inside to the install folder, and ran 'brew install ninja'. And now that works. Thank you for advice.

    Meson is intended to be installed via these commands:

    sudo -H python -m pip install --upgrade pip
    sudo -H pip install meson ninja

    I'd be interested in knowing why they didn't work if you had to download meson.tar.gz separately. It's not necessarily a problem to download meson separately, I just want to make sure the wiki guide works for everyone.

    I don't know, but after pip installing meson and ninja, they won't run in the terminals.
