Mac OS X 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 OS X command line tools:

xcode-select --install

When the popup appears, click Install.

Then install Homebrew.

Base build dependencies

brew install automake libtool pkg-config

If you want to build the disk image with make deploy (.dmg / optional), you need RSVG

brew install librsvg

Building

Follow the instructions in build-generic

Running

Dash Core is now available at ./src/dashd

Before running, it's recommended you create an RPC configuration file.

echo -e "rpcuser=dashrpc\nrpcpassword=$(xxd -l 16 -p /dev/urandom)" > "/Users/${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.
