Hello Folks!  
I whish to know if is possible to install and run RW8 in a iMac chip Apple M3 with Sonora.  
I’m fine with that old version, I don’t want to upgrade to a new one.  
Thanks in advance.  
Paolo.

Yes, RW8 should run okay on this system, but it’s not officially supported. RapidWeaver Classic has been updated and is officially supported on Sonoma.

However, if you’re looking to give your website a revamp, I’d highly recommend taking a look at [RapidWeaver Elements](https://elementsapp.io/), it absolutely screams on the latest Apple Silicon chips!
