Development Environment Setup on macOS
######################################
.. important::
This section only describes OS-specific setup instructions; it is the first step in the
complete Zephyr :ref:`getting_started`.
This section describes how to set up a Zephyr development environment on macOS.
These instructions have been tested on the following macOS versions:
* Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan)
* macOS Sierra 10.12
Update Your Operating System
****************************
Before proceeding with the build, ensure your OS is up to date.
.. _mac_requirements:
Install Requirements and Dependencies
*************************************
.. NOTE FOR DOCS AUTHORS: DO NOT PUT DOCUMENTATION BUILD DEPENDENCIES HERE.
This section is for dependencies to build Zephyr binaries, *NOT* this
documentation. If you need to add a dependency only required for building
the docs, add it to doc/README.rst. (This change was made following the
introduction of LaTeX->PDF support for the docs, as the texlive footprint is
massive and not needed by users not building PDF documentation.)
.. note::
Zephyr requires Python 3, while macOS only provides a Python 2
installation. After following these instructions, the version of Python 2
provided by macOS in ``/usr/bin/`` will sit alongside the Python 3
installation from Homebrew in ``/usr/local/bin``.
First, install :program:`Homebrew` by following instructions on the `Homebrew
site`_. Homebrew is a free and open-source package management system that
simplifies the installation of software on macOS. While installing Homebrew,
you may be prompted to install additional missing dependencies; please follow
any such instructions as well.
After Homebrew is successfully installed, install the following tools using
the ``brew`` command line tool in the Terminal application.
.. code-block:: console
brew install cmake ninja gperf ccache dfu-util qemu dtc python3
