    No. Not on OS X Yosemite.

    Some options:

    1. Join the Cloud and pay a monthly subscription fee, or
    2. Buy CS6 (3 years old, won't be updated)
    3. Buy Photoshop Elements 13

    ‌CS2 will not install or run on modern Macs with Intel chips running OS X 10.10 (Yosemite).

    CS2 is an old PowerPC application written for older Macs with PowerPC chips (incompatible with Intel chips) running OS X up to 10.3.8.

    Modern Macs (all have Intel processors) running OS X with Rosetta (which enables Intel chips to run PowerPC software) will run CS2 but Rosetta was discontinued by Apple in OS X 10.7.

    I cannot say whether the software will install/work on the OS you ask about, but in any case you need to get a special version of CS2...
