Hi, for EnergyPlus 9.5, is there a way to do a weather file conversion from epw to csv from a Mac?

Google thinks there is a WeatherConverter in the Preprocess folder but there is not.

On Windows there is a weather utility in EP-Launch that does it, but the Mac install comes with an EP-Launch-Lite that does not have this function (and does not work anyway).

An online version of the weather utility would be ok.

What do you mean by "CSV"? CSV is just a generic description for a file with Comma-Separated Variables. The data in an epw is already in CSV format, just the header is not, or at least not in an easy to read format. If you're thinking of the TMY3 CSV format that NREL uses for all their weather files, then there would need a text conversion moving the columns around but the data fields are 95% identical.
