You can use any of the many LAStools modules by preceding the command with “wine”. Now enter the ‘bin’ directory where the LAStools modules are located: cd binĦ. Run some tool (here: lasview) by calling wine before the LAStools command: wine lasview -i pathToYourFile/yourFile.lazįor lasview an OpenGL window should open up and you should see your LiDAR data being rendered (see the README file for all the different visualization options or follow this tutorial). Unzip the LAStools distribution: unzip lastools.zipĤ. Then change directories in the terminal to where the zipped folder is located.

If you don’t have Homebrew go ahead and install that now by following the instructions on the site. For those who feel more like the latter, let’s walk through this. Depending on your experience this might sound intuitive, or like utter jibberish. you can use homebrew to install either wine-stable or wine-devel (to see all available options run brew search wine ): At the moment of writing wine-stable was still too buggy so I went instead with wine-devel: This will install /usr/local/bin/wine64 along with dependencies.
