Can Mac software be run in Fedora?

I need to run a CCTV program occasionally. Unfortunately it’s only available for Win and Mac - https://www.hikvision.com/uk/support/download/software/ivms4200-series/

Someone suggested Bottles. Struggled through installing and creating a ‘bottle’, then tried to run the downloaded iVMS exe installer, nothing happens. Tried many times, and either nothing happens, or Bottles app crashes. Giving up, but before I do, I wondered if there’s any similar emulator to run Mac apps inside Fedora? If so, I could try that before giving up completely. thanks

You could give this a try, it is preinstalled software in a docker container.
You can try to run the container with podman without installing docker.

Thanks very much, kind of you to find and refer me to that. I’ve actually seen it before (a while ago now). Sadly it’s way over my head, I can’t even understand it let alone follow it. Never heard of Docker. Shame. If there were a way to run Mac software on Fedora, I might be able to get it running
