For a detailed discussion of how to run Provalis Research software on Macs with the ARM chip please read the following blog: Running QDA Miner and WordStat on M1-Based Macs. However, the solutions are slightly different and are regularly being updated.
You can also run QDA Miner, WordStat and Simstat on newer M1-based Macs. We present here a short overview of those solutions, as well as the result of a performance benchmark. We have tested five different solutions, including Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion, VirtualBox, and CrossOver. There are several existing solutions to run QDA Miner, WordStat, and Simstat on an Intel-based Mac OS X computer.
