Prior to 2024.2, Tableau Desktop, Tableau Prep Builder, Tableau Reader, or Tableau Public Desktop required the use of the Rosetta2 Emulator in order to run on a Mac computer with an Apple Silicon (ARM-64) chip. This may result in slower performance while using these Tableau applications.
Supported macOS Operating Systems
Running Tableau Desktop, Tableau Prep Builder, Tableau Reader, or Tableau Public Desktop natively on Apple Silicon machines requires the use of macOS Ventura (13+) or newer
How do I know if my Mac has Intel Processor or Apple Silicon
1) Please open the Apple menu on the top left corner of your desktop screen.
2) Click on “About This Mac”
3) Users with Intel processors will have “Processor…. Intel Core…” and users with Apple Silicon will have “Chip Apple M1, M2, or M3”
Versions 2024.2 and later of Tableau Desktop, Prep Builder, Reader and Public Desktop will install and run Tableau natively and without the use of the Rosetta2 Emulator. This will result in better performance for the user.
*If users are utilizing currently unsupported data sources in the ARM version, they should continue using the Intel version of Tableau and run this version on the Rosetta2 Emulator.
