# MacOS Instructions
We recommend for MacOS users to use [HomeBrew](https://brew.sh/) to install each package.
## HomeBrew installation
Run `terminal.app` and enter this command:
```sh
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
```
Use the command `brew install` to install the following packages:
```sh
brew install go
brew install bzr
brew install jq
brew install pkg-config
brew install rustup
```
## Clone
```sh
git clone https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus.git
cd lotus/
```
## Build
```sh
make clean all
sudo make install
```
Now you can use the command `lotus` in the CLI and join the [Lotus DevNet](https://docs.lotu.sh/en+join-devnet).
## Troubleshooting
You may run into problems with running `lotus daemon`, here are some common cases:
```sh
WARN peermgr peermgr/peermgr.go:131 failed to connect to bootstrap peer: failed to dial : all dials failed
* [/ip4/147.75.80.17/tcp/1347] failed to negotiate security protocol: connected to wrong peer
```
* Try running the build steps again and make sure that you have the latest code from GitHub.
```sh
ERROR hello hello/hello.go:81 other peer has different genesis!
```
* Try deleting your file system's `~/.lotus` directory. Check that it exists with `ls ~/.lotus`.
## Explanations
Some errors will occur that do not prevent Lotus from working:
```sh
ERROR chainstore store/store.go:564 get message get failed: <Data CID>: blockstore: block not found
```
* Someone is requesting a **Data CID** from you that you don't have.
