No Mac support I suppose ?
Not natively, no. However you can follow the guide here, on Mac it helps to use a program called Wineskin instead of base wine. The only caveat is that the DLM executable restart gives does not work in wine, the guide gets around that by direct downloading the .msi files, but that mirror is for the normal iRO renewel client, not restart. To get around that I had to use a Windows machine (VM works) to download the files then transfer the files it downloaded (a .msi and two .cab files) to the wineskin. I don't know if the files themselves are directly mirrored anywhere by now but that's what I had to do.

I've written a guide specifically for running the RO client on macOS under Wine. I've just updated it to support the Restart client. Be warned that the client will occasionally crash macOS!
I'm currently uploading the Restart client installer to MediaFire. The transfer will complete in approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. Until then, you can download the installer from the mirror that Sphilia posted.
If the client is causing the entire OS to crash, as in Kernel panic or otherwise unsavourable things, I would highly recommend updating your method to use a wineskin, as it will help mitigate such issues (though I have no idea why wine would case a kernel panic...). Otherwise, thanks as always for your hard work providing easy to follow guides for the Unix community
P.S. If you want I could make a dummy wrapper and upload it to Mediafire or somewhere, installation then just becomes "Download the wrapper, open the application folder [show package contents], drag and drop an already existing RO folder/the .msi files here + double click this thing here[provided by me inside the wrapper] to install, double click the app to launch RO"

How would using Wineskin mitigate the problem? Isn't Wineskin only a GUI for Wine? In any case, the client also causes crashes when I run it under CrossOver, which is a highly-modified fork of Wine.
I don't distribute Wineskin wrappers anymore because they cause more problems than they solve. If you knew how much of your personal information was stored in Wine's registry, then you probably wouldn't offer to share a wrapper, hehe! Additionally, I haven't had anyone complain that the guide is too difficult to follow.
Wineskin wraps the entire wine process into a sandbox-able application, by default that translates to lower ability to cause kernel panics. And I'm well aware of the personal information stored, it's not impossible to get rid of that. Never meant to mean your guide was hard to follow, I quite like it. It's definitely worrying that kernel panics are occurring though, figured since I've never seen that with wineskin may have been worth the shot. Since it seems you were already doing so before I suppose it's some other factor then.
