Overview
First be sure your device is compatible with the software. See below information for Mac System Requirements for SPSS Statistics
| OS |
macOS Catalina 10.15, Big Sur 11.0, macOS Monterey 12.0, macOS Ventura 13.0, macOS Sonoma 14.0 |
| Disk Space |
4 gigabytes (GB) of available hard-disk space. |
| Display |
1024*768 or higher screen resolution |
| Memory |
4 gigabyte(GB) of RAM or more is required, 8 gigabyte(GB) of RAM or more is recommended for 64-bit Client platforms. |
| Network: adapters, drivers, protocols |
IPv6 is supported and it is not required. |
| Other Hardware |
Minimum free disk space: Linux: 1.5 gigabyte (GB) for installation.
Because the installer extracts files before installing, the same amount of temporary disk space is also needed for the installer. If you do not have enough space in /tmp or the installing user’s home directory, use the IATEMPDIR environment variable to specify a different temporary location for the extracted installer files. You can remove this folder after installation.
Additional free disk space is required to run the program (for temporary files). The amount of space needed for temporary files depends on the number of users, the expected size of the .sav file, and the procedure. You can use the following formula to estimate the space needed: * <.sav file size> * , where can range from 1 to 2.5. For example, for procedures like K-Means Cluster Analysis (QUICK CLUSTER), Classification Tree (TREE), and Two-Step Cluster Analysis (TWOSTEP CLUSTER), the is closer to 1 than 2.5. If sorting is involved, it is 2.5. So, if you have four users, the expected .sav file size is 100 MB, and sorting is involved, you should allow 1 GB (4 × 100 MB × 2.5) of storage for temporary files.

SPSS opens but doesn’t see or open files when you click on them.
Solution:
- System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Full Disk Access
- Allow changes with user’s credentials -> click the Plus sign -> type Command-shift-G
- /bin-> scroll to find “Sh” and open (make sure it’s checked after the fact)
Your Mac/SPSS will now see the files and allow them to be opened
