Please read the [general build guide](BUILD.md) for information on dependencies required for all platforms. Only macOS specific instructions are found in this document.
Please read the [general build guide](BUILD.md) for information on dependencies required for all platforms. This will include the necessary environment variables to customize your build. Only macOS specific instructions are found in this document.
## Homebrew
## Prerequisites
[Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) is an excellent package manager for macOS. It makes install of some Vircadia dependencies very simple.
### CMake, OpenSSL, and NPM

```bash
brew install cmake openssl npm
```
Note: cmake versions > 3.18.x have known problems building Vircadia, so alternatively you can download cmake 3.18.4 (or earlier versions) from [Github](https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases).

## Python 3
### Python 3
Download an install Python 3.6.6 or higher from [here](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
Execute the `Update Shell Profile.command` script that is provided with the installer.
## OSX SDK
### MacOS SDK
You will need version `10.12` of the OSX SDK for building, otherwise you may have crashing or other unintended issues due to the deprecation of OpenGL on OSX. You can get that SDK from [here](https://github.com/phracker/MacOSX-SDKs). You must copy it in to your Xcode SDK directory, e.g.

```bash
cp -rp ~/Downloads/MacOSX10.12.sdk /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/
```
## OpenSSL
### OpenSSL
Assuming you've installed OpenSSL using the homebrew instructions above, you'll need to set OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR so CMake can find your installations.
For OpenSSL installed via homebrew, set OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR via
`export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl`
or by appending `-DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl` to `cmake`

## Xcode
## Generate and Build
You can choose to use either Unix Makefiles or Xcode.
### Xcode
You can ask CMake to generate Xcode project files instead of Unix Makefiles using the `-G Xcode` parameter after CMake. You will need to select the Xcode installation in the terminal first if you have not done so already.
```bash
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
cmake ../ -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.12.sdk" -DCMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.12 -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl -DOSX_SDK=10.12 ..
cmake ../ -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.12.sdk" -DCMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.12 -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl -G Xcode -DOSX_SDK=10.12 ..
```
If `cmake` complains about Python 3 being missing, you may need to update your CMake binary with command `brew upgrade cmake`, or by downloading and running the latest CMake installer, depending on how you originally installed CMake.
After running CMake, you will have the make files or Xcode project file necessary to build all of the components. Open the hifi.xcodeproj file, choose ALL_BUILD from the Product > Scheme menu (or target drop down), and click Run.

If the build completes successfully, you will have built targets for all components located in the `build/${target_name}/Debug` directories.
## make
### make
If you build with make rather than Xcode, you can append `-j4` for assigning more threads. The number indicates the number of threads, e.g. 4.
Run CMake.
```bash
cmake -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.12.sdk" -DCMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.12 -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl -DOSX_SDK=10.12 ..
```
You can append `-j4` to assign more threads to build with. The number indicates the number of threads, e.g. 4.
To package the installation, you can simply run `make package` afterwards.
## FAQ
1. **Problem:** Running the scheme `interface.app` from Xcode causes a crash for Interface related to `libgl`
1. **Problem:** Running the scheme `interface.app` from Xcode causes a crash for Interface related to `libgl`.
1. **Cause:** The target `gl` generates a binary called `libgl`. A macOS `libGL.framework` item gets loaded instead by Xcode.
1. **Solution:** In the Xcode target settings for `libgl`, set the version to 1.0.0
2. **Solution:** In the Xcode target settings for `libgl`, set the version to `1.0.0`.
2. **Problem:** CMake complains about Python 3 being missing.
1. **Cause:** CMake might be out of date.
2. **Solution:** Try updating your CMake binary with command `brew upgrade cmake`, or by downloading and running a newer CMake installer, depending on how you originally installed CMake. Please keep in mind the recommended CMake versions noted above.
