Intel HAXM 6.0.4 not compatible with MacOS

I have MacOS 10.11 El Capitain installed. Today I got the notification that Intel HAXM 6.0.4 is available and the Android SDK Manager suggested me to remove Intel HAXM 6.0.3. I did it.

But now, I got the message that Intel HAXM 6.0.4 is not compatible with MacOS.

Android SDK Manager Intel HAXM 6.0.4 not supported

Is there a way to get the old version 6.0.3 back? Or is there any alternative?

What are the system requirements to install HAXM?

Intel HAXM requires the Android SDK to be installed (version 17 or higher). For best performance, using SDK version 2.0 or higher is recommended. Recent Windows or Mac OS X (32/64-bit).

Is Intel HAXM necessary?

The Intel HAXM requires an Intel processor that supports virtualization. Installing or not installing it will make no difference to a computer on an AMD processor. So long story short, you do not need Intel HAXM installed to use Android Studio.
