# MacOS Instructions
|
|
|
|
## Get XCode Command Line Tools
|
|
|
|
To check if you already have the XCode Command Line Tools installed via the CLI, run:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
xcode-select -p
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If this command returns a path, you can move on to the next step. Otherwise, to install via the CLI, run:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
xcode-select --install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To update, run:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
|
|
xcode-select --install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Get HomeBrew
|
|
|
|
We recommend that MacOS users use [HomeBrew](https://brew.sh) to install each the necessary packages.
|
|
|
|
Check if you have HomeBrew:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
brew -v
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command returns a version number if you have HomeBrew installed and nothing otherwise.
|
|
|
|
In your terminal, enter this command to install Homebrew:
|
|
|
|
```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 bzr jq pkg-config rustup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Clone
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus.git
|
|
cd lotus/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
make clean && make all
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After installing Lotus, you can run the `lotus` command directly from your CLI to see usage documentation. Next, you can join the [Lotus TestNet](https://docs.lotu.sh/en+join-testnet). |
