The following versions of the MPS Standalone Application are available:
| MPS Version | Release Date | Eclipse Version | Windows | Linux | Mac |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| 1.7.0 | July 11, 2020 | 2020-06 (4.16) | Windows (64 bit) | Linux (64 bit) | Mac OS X (64 bit) |
| 1.6.1 | February 29, 2020 | 2019-09 (4.13) | Windows (64 bit) | Linux (64 bit) | Mac OS X (64 bit) |

The table lists the newest major releases. For an overview of all releases, visit the Release History page.
Important note for Mac OS X users: In recent versions of OS X, the application can not be opened directly and an error message saying that the application is “damaged” is displayed. The reason for the error message is that the application is not signed by a Apple-verified developer. In this case, open a terminal and enter the following command:
sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/MPS.app
This assumes that you have installed MPS.app in your default Applications folder. In case you have it installed elsewhere, you have to adjust the path (for example ~/Downloads/MPS.app if MPS is still in your Downloads folder).
The administrator password has to entered to unlock this action (typed characters are not displayed for security reasons).
In previous versions of Mac OS X (10.14 Mojave and below), the problem could be solved by disabling Gatekeeper temporarily with the following command:
sudo spctl --master-disable
If MPS still won’t start, go to System Settings -> Security -> General and unlock MPS.app in the lower section.
It is highly recommended to activate Gatekeeper again after starting MPS with the command
sudo spctl --master-enable
Install into an Existing Eclipse Instance
