dbd137a4ea8f1b5dfc5cdc72cee99c8f8328b793 Improve build-osx formatting (Giulio Lombardo)
Pull request description:
This `PR` will improve `build-osx.md` formatting by:
1. Updating Markdown syntax to the latest one
2. Adding syntax highlighting to all code blocks
3. Aligning the text up to `80` column guideline (before it was following different guidelines, sometime `80`, sometime `90`, etc.)
4. Small grammar improvements here and there
ACKs for top commit:
fanquake:
ACK dbd137a4ea8f1b5dfc5cdc72cee99c8f8328b793 - Document reads and renders essentially the same as the current `build-osx.md`, with minor formatting / grammatical changes.

# macOS Build Instructions and Notes
|
|
|
|
The commands in this guide should be executed in a Terminal application.
|
|
The built-in one is located in
|
|
```
|
|
/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Preparation
|
|
Install the macOS command line tools:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
xcode-select --install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When the popup appears, click `Install`.
|
|
|
|
Then install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh).
|
|
|
|
## Base build dependencies
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
brew install automake libtool pkg-config libnatpmp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to build the disk image with `make deploy` (.dmg / optional), you need RSVG:
|
|
```shell
|
|
brew install librsvg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
It's possible that your `PATH` environment variable contains some problematic strings, run
|
|
```shell
|
|
export PATH=$(echo "$PATH" | sed -e '/\\/!s/ /\\ /g') # fix whitespaces
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Next, follow the instructions in [build-generic](build-generic.md)
|
|
|
|
## `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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In this case there is no dependency on Berkeley DB 4.8.
|
|
|
|
Mining is also possible in disable-wallet mode using the `getblocktemplate` RPC call.
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
Dash Core is now available at `./src/dashd`
|
|
|
|
Before running, you may create an empty configuration file:
|
|
```shell
|
|
mkdir -p "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/DashCore"
|
|
|
|
touch "/Users/${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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Other commands:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
./src/dashd -daemon # Starts the dash 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.
|
|
```
