mIRC on Apple Macs

mIRC only runs on the Windows operating system, so it will not work on Apple Macs. There are no plans to make a MacOS version of mIRC at this time.

There are a number of IRC clients for the Apple Mac that you can try out that work very much like mIRC, such as: Colloquy, LimeChat, Textual, Snak.

All of these IRC clients can be used to connect to the same IRC networks as with mIRC, so you will see all of your friends on all of the same channels.

Alternatively, if you want to use mIRC on the Apple Mac, there are a number of "virtualization" products for Apple Mac computers that allow you to run Windows applications on a Mac. Or you can simply install a version of Windows using Apple Mac's Bootcamp feature and run all of your favorite Windows applications that way.

mIRC on Linux

mIRC only runs on the Windows operating system, so it will not work on Linux. There are no plans to make a Linux version of mIRC at this time.

Linux has quite a few native IRC clients, although none of them are quite like mIRC.

If you want to run mIRC on Linux, it is possible to do so using Wine, which is an Open Source implementation of Windows for Linux. You can find out more about Wine at http://www.winehq.com.

Recent versions of mIRC run quite well under Wine.

mIRC on Android/iOS Mobiles and Tablets

mIRC only runs on the Windows operating system, so it will not work on Android or iOS. There are no plans to make a version of mIRC that works on them at this time.

There are quite a few IRC clients written specifically for Android and iOS, so it is very likely that you can find one for your particular device.
