 You are attempting something that requires development tools (e.g. a compiler), and you do not have such tools installed yet. Just follow the steps to install the necessary tools from Apple and you should be good to go.
 
+### I have an older version of macOS and cannot upgrade to a supported version. What can I do?
+
+If you cannot upgrade to a newer macOS, you still have a few alternatives:
+
+* **Try [installing the latest release](#-install) anyway.** The [required macOS versions](#-prerequisites) are those on which the latest release has been tested and is known to work. It is likely that the app will work too on some previous versions of macOS, but due to limited resources I cannot test with older OS versions
+
+* Download an older release that was tested with your configuration:
+
+ * Apple silicon — last version tested with macOS 12 Monterey: [**OpenFOAM.app** v1.8.5](https://github.com/gerlero/openfoam-app/releases/tag/v1.8.5) ([⬇️ OpenFOAM v2206](https://github.com/gerlero/openfoam-app/releases/download/v1.8.5/openfoam2206-app-standalone-arm64.zip), [⬇️ OpenFOAM v2112](https://github.com/gerlero/openfoam-app/releases/download/v1.8.5/openfoam2112-app-standalone-arm64.zip))

+* Or, you can try [building the app from source](#-building-from-source) on the system where you'll be using it
+
+Whatever alternative you choose, please avoid opening an issue if something doesn't work as expected when running an older version of macOS.

 ### Can I get an app for a version from the OpenFOAM Foundation ([openfoam.org](openfoam.org), e.g. OpenFOAM 10)?
 
 No. The OpenFOAM Foundation's distribution [does not support native compilation on macOS](https://github.com/gerlero/openfoam-app/issues/14#issuecomment-1049843002).
