After a long process of getting my adobe CS5.5 downloaded on my new mac I can open all the program but but when i click quit not long after i get the follow error message:

InDeign quit unexpectedly

Click Reopen to open the application again. This report will be sent to Apple automatically.

Is there a way to fix this?

    CS6 and earlier programs have not been tested and will not be updated for Mac El Capitan or later operating systems

    -which means that you try to use CS6 and earlier at YOUR risk of having problems due to Apple updates

    -Apple did not maintain backward compatibility with old programs in El Capitan or Sierra

    --Adobe has a workaround to Apple's problem of not maintaining backward compatibility
