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:
`xcode-select --install`
When the popup appears, click `Install`.
Then install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh).
Base build dependencies
-----------------------
```bash
brew install automake libtool pkg-config
```
If you want to build the disk image with `make deploy` (.dmg / optional), you need RSVG
```bash
brew install librsvg
```
Building
--------
It's possible that your `PATH` environment variable contains some problematic strings, run
```bash
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, Bitcoin Core may be compiled in
disable-wallet mode with:
./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.
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 several hours.
You can monitor the download process by looking at the debug.log file:
tail -f $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/DashCore/debug.log
Other commands:
-------
./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.
