Pro Tools installation : OS X version is "too old"

-1

I'm trying to install Pro Tools on my late 2012 Macbook Pro running OS X 10.11.6. When the installer checks if I'm running OSX 10.7 or higher, I get an error message stating:

Pro Tools cannot be installed because the following error(s) were found on your system:
- An incompatible version of the OS was found. Pro Tools 10.3.10 requires Mac OS X version 10.7 or higher.

What can I do to force the installation?

You would have to upgrade to 10.7. If you cannot run OS X 10.7 for whatever reason, use a previous version of Pro Tool, that does support 10.6 – Ramhound – 2016-09-07T19:41:22.037

That'd be a downgrade right ? I'm using OSX 10.11 – Spoutnovitch – 2016-09-07T19:48:35.900

The problem you have is not only does Pro Tools 10.3.10 not support OS X 10.11.6 even the current version has compatiablity problems with it. I suggest, trying Pro Tools 12.3 just to see if it works or downgrade to OS X 10.11.3

I was trying to install Pro Tools 10.3. Only Pro Tools 12+ supports El Capitan--and only for 10.11.3 and below (see Avid's official post). I was able to install Pro Tools 12.3 without a problem; however 10.11.4 and above are officially unsupported, and may have bugs.
