## # macOS

So compiling DSDTs and SSDTs are quite easy with macOS, all you need is MaciASL
(opens new window). To compile, just `File -> SaveAs -> ACPI Machine Language Binary(.AML)`, decompiling is just opening the file in MaciASL.

For those who prefer the command line, grab iasl-stable
(opens new window) and run the following:

    path/to/iasl path/to/DSDT.aml

- If compiled .aml file is provided, a decompiled .dsl file will be given and vice versa.

## # Windows

Compiling and decompiling on windows is fairly simple though, you will need iasl.exe
(opens new window) and Command Prompt:

    path/to/iasl.exe path/to/DSDT.aml

- If compiled .aml file is provided, a decompiled .dsl file will be given and vice versa.

## # Linux

Compiling and decompiling with Linux is just as simple, you will need a copy of iasl. You can get it here (iasl
(opens new window)) or through the `iasl` package in your package manager. iasl can be used as such:

    path/to/iasl path/to/DSDT.aml

- If compiled .aml file is provided, a decompiled .dsl file will be given and vice versa.
