# 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
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
```
After installing Lotus, you can run the `lotus` command directly from your CLI to see usage documentation. Next, you can join the [Lotus DevNet](https://docs.lotu.sh/en+join-devnet).
