I recommend installing another operating system in a virtual machine to get around the problem. Mac OS is the most challenging platform because there’s only one open-source simulator that works natively. But with a little effort, you can make it work in other distros, including Ubuntu. FPGA vendors usually only support the Red Hat Linux distribution. Microsoft Windows is the easiest to install on, but many simulators also have a Linux version. But fortunately, there are many free and legal alternatives that you can download and install.
Professional VHDL simulators are more expensive than most individuals can afford.
