can't mount the dmg

[marianamateos]

I'm using Mac OS X 10.11.6.

I downloaded the "Mesquite.3.61-MacOSX.10.10.or.higher-Java-1.7plus.dmg"
and "Mesquite.3.61-MacOSX.10.9.or.lower-Java1.6.dmg" and get the following error when trying to mount them.
Disk image could not be opened; reason: "No Mountable File Systems"

The No Mountable File Systems error typically occurs when the dmg is corrupted. Have you tried downloading and mounting a fresh copy?

I am too having this issue. I have repeatedly tried downloading new copies and the error message continues to come up.

FYI, it's because the image format for the DMG files is APFS, which is supported on 10.13 or newer. The last image that should work is 3.5.1, from here: https://github.com/MesquiteProject/MesquiteCore/releases/tag/untagged-8cc6db36651fb5d9acec

This worked, thank you!
