Or you can get Visual Studio Community for free: https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/

I didn't know that you can use Visual Studio on anything that is not Windows. I'll try to install it.

Edit: Looks like you need Visual Studio Community for this SDK which Microsoft only has a Windows version.

Looks like it's available for Mac as well: https://www.visualstudio.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-st...

Edit: The QDK does not have Mac support yet.

"Visual Studio for Mac" is just a rebrand of another IDE they purchased this past year, it's not feature-equivalent with the real VS AFAIK.

Hi, I'm one of the devs on Q#! We're excited to make this preview release of Microsoft's Quantum Development Kit available on Windows PCs. We're exploring the possibility of supporting other platforms in the future and will share more about this at a later time.

Well, if you don't have Windows, that still doesn't help. And if you don't //want// Windows or Visual Studio, that doesn't help either ;-)
