title: Unable to launch android emulator in Mac
body: <p>I have been working on an android project, I am using android studio on my <strong><em>iMAC[Software OS X 10.9.5, Graphics Intel HD Graphics 5000 1024 MB, Processor 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5]</em></strong>. </p>
  
  <p>When i try to open my application on an android emulator it get this error- </p>
  
  <pre><code>emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
  Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
  CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed! 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can find so many similar issues with solution on Google &amp; SO, but i am unable to use those solutions for MAC??? </p>
  
  <p>I followed all the steps given <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29136173/emulator-error-x86-emulation-currently-requires-hardware-acceleration">here</a> but with no luck, still unable to launch emulator. I think there is something to do with mac os.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone tell me how to do this on MAC ?? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
