# Mac

Tails is not working on every Mac model and you might have to try different installation methods.

At the end, maybe:

- Tails will work perfectly!
- You will start Tails with some core features missing.
- You will start Tails with Wi-Fi or graphics problems.
- It will be impossible to start Tails on your Mac.

## Anyway, ready to give it a try?

1. If you know someone you trust who uses Tails already, you can try installing your USB stick by copying from it. Make sure that this Tails is up-to-date.
