Go to Inkscape, download the dmg, double-click to begin the install and you’re done. Simply go to XQuartz, download the dmg, double-click to begin the install and install that way. METHOD 1 – Using the pre-compiled DMG to Install Inkscape On Mac Then I do all the installs, add in Inkscape, Xcode, XQuartz into the list before locking again. PRIOR TO INSTALL Inkscape – I like to go into Security and Privacy to temporarily unlock the “allow apps to control your computer”. I did a little investigative work on what my options are and which one would be easier because in the past installation on Mac involves using 1) a pre-compiled DMG file, 2) installation via MacPorts which requires XCode to be pre-installed or 3) installation via Homebrew requiring XQuartz to be pre-installed. Together with supporting libraries and applications, it forms the X11.app that Apple shipped with OS X versions 10.5 through 10.7” “The XQuartz project is an open-source effort to develop a version of the X.Org X Window System that runs on OS X. Straight from XQuartz here’s their definition of XQuartz’s purpose.

I was going to actually update from Mojave to Catalina before installing and updating Inkscape until I went to and saw their notice that the latest version was not ready for Catalina and the only version they recommended was the beta. That said, I needed to recently update Inkscape and decided to share how I installed the latest Inkscape version possible on Mojave.

I use a variety of graphics editors: Inkscape for vector graphics, GIMP and PixelmatorPro for images and raster graphics. So here are the 3 ways to easily install Inkscape on Mac.
