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](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
--------
Follow the instructions in [build-generic](build-generic.md)
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.
