Dependencies MacOS

Xcode

• Xcode>=4.6.3* is required for compilation.

  * If recently upgraded OS make sure your XCode isn't outdated by running open -a XCode, or via Applications.

• Xcode Command Line Utilities* must be activated.

  sudo xcode-select --install
  sudo xcodebuild -license

  *Alternately via Applications, Xcode, Xcode Preferences menu, Downloads tab, Command Line Tools, Install. Or if that's missing, hunt down the installer from Apple Downloads.

Homebrew

• Homebrew* or an equivelent package manager is required for fetching libraries

  ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

  *Alternately, you may use MacPorts instead.
