Building on macOS

The following steps should be executed in a Terminal application. Tip: press Command (⌘) + Space and search for terminal.

Prerequisites

1. Xcode Command Line Tools

To install, run the following command from your terminal:

xcode-select --install

Upon running the command, you should see a popup appear. Click on Install to continue the installation process.

2. Homebrew Package Manager

Homebrew is a package manager for macOS that allows one to install packages from the command line easily. You can use the package manager of your preference.

To install the Homebrew package manager, see: https://brew.sh

Note: If you run into issues while installing Homebrew or pulling packages, refer to Homebrew's troubleshooting page.

3. Install Required Dependencies

On the Terminal, using Homebrew, run the following:

brew update
brew install gcc pkg-config

You'll need Rust and Cargo, refer to this for more details. Minimum support version is rustc 1.74 and newer.

Building

Once you have Cargo, clone the repository with:

git clone https://github.com/getfloresta/Floresta.git

go to the Floresta directory

cd Floresta/

and build with cargo build

cargo build --release

# Alternatively, you can add florestad and floresta-cli to the path with
cargo install --path ./bin/florestad --locked
cargo install --path ./bin/floresta-cli --locked

If you are using Nix, you can get floresta packages into your system following the instructions here.
