Updates based on discussion and changes in supported features. - Make the guide shorter by removing content that's not relevant to most users who are truly just getting started, such as information about pre-LTS versions that did not support west, and by being more concise in some places. - Decrease the number of colored boxes. At the latest TSC F2F, the "note / warning / note / tip" contents were identified as a readability problem. - Add additional information based on new west features, like "west boards".

Go back to the main :ref:`getting_started` when you're done here.

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.

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.)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Now install these host dependencies with the ``brew`` command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
brew install cmake ninja gperf ccache dfu-util qemu dtc python3
|
|
|
|
.. _Homebrew site: https://brew.sh/
