Merge #21343: doc: revamp macOS build doc
c180c911b88b2bd2baf2c9c2b24e276787ffb69b doc: revamp macOS build doc (Jarol Rodriguez)
Pull request description:
This PR makes the macOS build-docs more informative and adds in the following information:
- Proper descriptions and delineation of required/optional dependencies
- walk-through of optional dependencies
- configuration walk-through
- various other tidbits of information
This is a part of the efforts done in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/20601 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/20610 to update the docs and introduce some consistency between them.
This update does not add instructions for arm-based M1 Macbooks as I do not have one to test with. It would be nice to have someone follow up with an update containing instructions for arm-based Macs.

ACK c180c911b88b2bd2baf2c9c2b24e276787ffb69b - I still think these are getting too verbose and we're duplicating information all over the place; dependencies, configure options, combinations of options etc. However if people are happy to maintain them, I guess it's fine for now, and this revamping has already happened for some of the other build READMEs.

See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview.
|
||||
|
||||
## Preparation
|
||||
|
||||
The commands in this guide should be executed in a Terminal application.
|
||||
The built-in one is located in
|
||||
macOS comes with a built-in Terminal located in:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Preparation
|
||||
Install the macOS command line tools:
|
||||
### 1. Xcode Command Line Tools
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
The Xcode Command Line Tools are a collection of build tools for macOS.
|
||||
These tools must be installed in order to build Dash Core from source.
|
||||
|
||||
To install, run the following command from your terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
xcode-select --install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When the popup appears, click `Install`.
|
||||
Upon running the command, you should see a popup appear.
|
||||
Click on `Install` to continue the installation process.
|
||||
|
||||
Then install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh).
|
||||
### 2. Homebrew Package Manager
|
||||
|
||||
## Dependencies
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
brew install automake libtool boost gmp miniupnpc pkg-config python qt@5 libevent libnatpmp qrencode
|
||||
Homebrew is a package manager for macOS that allows one to install packages from the command line easily.
|
||||
While several package managers are available for macOS, this guide will focus on Homebrew as it is the most popular.
|
||||
Since the examples in this guide which walk through the installation of a package will use Homebrew, it is recommended that you install it to follow along.
|
||||
Otherwise, you can adapt the commands to your package manager of choice.
|
||||
|
||||
To install the Homebrew package manager, see: https://brew.sh
|
||||
|
||||
Note: If you run into issues while installing Homebrew or pulling packages, refer to [Homebrew's troubleshooting page](https://docs.brew.sh/Troubleshooting).
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Install Required Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
The first step is to download the required dependencies.
|
||||
These dependencies represent the packages required to get a barebones installation up and running.
|
||||
To install, run the following from your terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
brew install automake libtool boost gmp pkg-config libevent
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you run into issues, check [Homebrew's troubleshooting page](https://docs.brew.sh/Troubleshooting).
|
||||
See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview.
|
||||
### 4. Clone Dash repository
|
||||
|
||||
The wallet support requires one or both of the dependencies ([*SQLite*](#sqlite) and [*Berkeley DB*](#berkeley-db)) in the sections below.
|
||||
To build Dash Core without wallet, see [*Disable-wallet mode*](#disable-wallet-mode).
|
||||
`git` should already be installed by default on your system.
|
||||
Now that all the required dependencies are installed, let's clone the Dash Core repository to a directory.
|
||||
All build scripts and commands will run from this directory.
|
||||
|
||||
#### SQLite
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/dashpay/dash.git
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Usually, macOS installation already has a suitable SQLite installation.
|
||||
Also, the Homebrew package could be installed:
|
||||
### 5. Install Optional Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
#### Wallet Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
It is not necessary to build wallet functionality to run `dashd` or `dash-qt`.
|
||||
To enable legacy wallets, you must install `berkeley-db@4`.
|
||||
To enable [descriptor wallets](https://github.com/dashpay/dash/blob/master/doc/descriptors.md), `sqlite` is required.
|
||||
Skip `berkeley-db@4` if you intend to *exclusively* use descriptor wallets.
|
||||
|
||||
###### Legacy Wallet Support
|
||||
|
||||
`berkeley-db@4` is required to enable support for legacy wallets.
|
||||
Skip if you don't intend to use legacy wallets.
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
brew install berkeley-db@4
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
###### Descriptor Wallet Support
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Apple has included a useable `sqlite` package since macOS 10.14.
|
||||
You may not need to install this package.
|
||||
|
||||
`sqlite` is required to enable support for descriptor wallets.
|
||||
Skip if you don't intend to use descriptor wallets.
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
brew install sqlite
|
||||
```
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
In that case the Homebrew package will prevail.
|
||||
#### GUI Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to build the disk image with `make deploy` (.dmg / optional), you need:
|
||||
[`macdeployqtplus`](../contrib/macdeploy/README.md) dependencies:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
###### Qt
|
||||
|
||||
Dash Core includes a GUI built with the cross-platform Qt Framework.
|
||||
To compile the GUI, we need to install `qt@5`.
|
||||
Skip if you don't intend to use the GUI.
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
brew install qt@5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Building with Qt binaries downloaded from the Qt website is not officially supported.
|
||||
See the notes in [#7714](https://github.com/dashpay/dash/issues/7714).
|
||||
|
||||
###### qrencode
|
||||
|
||||
The GUI can encode addresses in a QR Code. To build in QR support for the GUI, install `qrencode`.
|
||||
Skip if not using the GUI or don't want QR code functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
brew install qrencode
|
||||
```
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
#### Port Mapping Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
###### miniupnpc
|
||||
|
||||
miniupnpc may be used for UPnP port mapping.
|
||||
Skip if you do not need this functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
brew install miniupnpc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
###### libnatpmp
|
||||
|
||||
libnatpmp may be used for NAT-PMP port mapping.
|
||||
Skip if you do not need this functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
brew install libnatpmp
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note: UPnP and NAT-PMP support will be compiled in and disabled by default.
|
||||
Check out the [further configuration](#further-configuration) section for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
#### ZMQ Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
Support for ZMQ notifications requires the following dependency.
|
||||
Skip if you do not need ZMQ functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
brew install zeromq
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
ZMQ is automatically compiled in and enabled if the dependency is detected.
|
||||
Check out the [further configuration](#further-configuration) section for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
For more information on ZMQ, see: [zmq.md](zmq.md)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
#### Test Suite Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
There is an included test suite that is useful for testing code changes when developing.
|
||||
To run the test suite (recommended), you will need to have Python 3 installed:
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
brew install python
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
#### Deploy Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
You can deploy a `.dmg` containing the Dash Core application using `make deploy`.
|
||||
This command depends on a couple of python packages, so it is required that you have `python` installed.
|
||||
|
||||
Ensuring that `python` is installed, you can install the deploy dependencies by running the following commands in your terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
pip3 install ds_store mac_alias
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Berkeley DB
|
||||
## Building Dash Core
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
There are many ways to configure Dash Core, here are a few common examples:
|
||||
|
||||
##### Wallet (BDB + SQlite) Support, No GUI:
|
||||
|
||||
If `berkeley-db@4` is installed, then legacy wallet support will be built.
|
||||
If `berkeley-db@4` is not installed, then this will throw an error.
|
||||
If `sqlite` is installed, then descriptor wallet support will also be built.
|
||||
Additionally, this explicitly disables the GUI.
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
./autogen.sh
|
||||
./configure --with-gui=no
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
###### Berkeley DB
|
||||
|
||||
It is recommended to use Berkeley DB 4.8. If you have to build it yourself,
|
||||
you can use [the installation script included in contrib/](contrib/install_db4.sh)
|
||||
@ -55,59 +242,68 @@ like so:
|
||||
./contrib/install_db4.sh .
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
from the root of the repository.
|
||||
##### Wallet (only SQlite) and GUI Support:
|
||||
|
||||
Also, the Homebrew package could be installed:
|
||||
This explicitly enables the GUI and disables legacy wallet support.
|
||||
If `qt` is not installed, this will throw an error.
|
||||
If `sqlite` is installed then descriptor wallet functionality will be built.
|
||||
If `sqlite` is not installed, then wallet functionality will be disabled.
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
brew install berkeley-db4
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
./autogen.sh
|
||||
./configure --without-bdb --with-gui=yes
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Build Dash Core
|
||||
##### No Wallet or GUI
|
||||
|
||||
1. Clone the Dash Core source code:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/dashpay/dash
|
||||
cd dash
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Build Dash Core:
|
||||
|
||||
Configure and build the headless Dash Core binaries as well as the GUI (if Qt is found).
|
||||
|
||||
You can disable the GUI build by passing `--without-gui` to configure.
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
./autogen.sh
|
||||
./configure
|
||||
make
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. It is recommended to build and run the unit tests:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
make check
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. You can also create a `.dmg` that contains the `.app` bundle (optional):
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
make deploy
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Disable-wallet mode
|
||||
When the intention is to run only a P2P node without a wallet, Dash Core may be
|
||||
compiled in disable-wallet mode with:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
./configure --disable-wallet
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
./autogen.sh
|
||||
./configure --without-wallet --with-gui=no
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In this case there is no dependency on [*Berkeley DB*](#berkeley-db) and [*SQLite*](#sqlite).
|
||||
##### Further Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Mining is also possible in disable-wallet mode using the `getblocktemplate` RPC call.
|
||||
You may want to dig deeper into the configuration options to achieve your desired behavior.
|
||||
Examine the output of the following command for a full list of configuration options:
|
||||
|
||||
## Running
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
./configure -help
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Dash Core is now available at `./src/dashd`
|
||||
### 2. Compile
|
||||
|
||||
After configuration, you are ready to compile.
|
||||
Run the following in your terminal to compile Dash Core:
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
make -jx # use -jX here for parallelism
|
||||
make check # Run tests if Python 3 is available
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Deploy (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
You can also create a `.dmg` containing the `.app` bundle by running the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
make deploy
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Running Dash Core
|
||||
|
||||
Dash Core should now be available at `./src/dashd`.
|
||||
If you compiled support for the GUI, it should be available at `./src/qt/dash-qt`.
|
||||
|
||||
The first time you run `dashd` or `dash-qt`, it will start downloading the blockchain.
|
||||
This process could take many hours, or even days on slower than average systems.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, blockchain and wallet data files will be stored in:
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/Dash/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Before running, you may create an empty configuration file:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
mkdir -p "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/DashCore"
|
||||
|
||||
@ -116,9 +312,8 @@ touch "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/DashCore/dash.conf"
|
||||
chmod 600 "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/DashCore/dash.conf"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The first time you run dashd, it will start downloading the blockchain. This process could take many hours, or even days on slower than average systems.
|
||||
|
||||
You can monitor the download process by looking at the debug.log file:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
tail -f $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/DashCore/debug.log
|
||||
```
|
||||
@ -126,13 +321,8 @@ tail -f $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/DashCore/debug.log
|
||||
## Other commands:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
./src/dashd -daemon # Starts the dash daemon.
|
||||
./src/dashd -daemon # Starts the dashd daemon.
|
||||
./src/dash-cli --help # Outputs a list of command-line options.
|
||||
./src/dash-cli help # Outputs a list of RPC commands when the daemon is running.
|
||||
./src/qt/dash-qt -server # Starts the dash-qt server mode, allows dash-cli control
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
* Tested on OS X 10.12 Sierra through macOS 10.15 Catalina on 64-bit Intel
|
||||
processors only.
|
||||
* Building with downloaded Qt binaries is not officially supported. See the notes in [#7714](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7714).
