# Building on macOS #### Note - If you want to develop Chatterino 2 you will also need to install Qt Creator (make sure to install **Qt 5.12 or newer**) #### Note - Chatterino 2 is only tested on macOS 10.14 and above - anything below that is considered unsupported. It may or may not work on earlier versions 1. Install Xcode and Xcode Command Line Utilites 2. Start Xcode, settings -> Locations, activate your Command Line Tools 3. Install brew https://brew.sh/ 4. `brew install boost openssl rapidjson` 5. `brew install qt` 6. Step 5 should output some directions to add qt to your path, you will need to do this for qmake 5. Go into project directory 6. Create build folder `mkdir build && cd build` 7. `qmake .. && make` If the Project does not build at this point, you might need to add additional Paths/Libs, because brew does not install openssl and boost in the common path. You can get their path using `brew info openssl` `brew info boost` If brew doesn't link openssl properly then you should be able to link it yourself using those two commands: - `ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/* /usr/local/lib` - `ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/include/openssl /usr/local/include/openssl` The lines which you need to add to your project file should look similar to this ``` INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/opt/openssl/include LIBS += -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib ```
