+# Intructions for compiling dsda-launcher for MacOS
+
+
+## Qt - https://www.qt.io/download
+```
+All commits tested using the qt6.2.0
+
+You could also install qt using 'brew'
+```
+
+## Compiling
+
+1. Clone this repo
+```
+git clone https://github.com/Pedro-Beirao/dsda-launcher.git
+```
+
+2. Create a "build" folder inside src/
+```
+cd dsda-launcher
+cd src
+
+mkdir build
+cd build
+```
+3. Run qmake from the build folder
+```
+qmake ..
+
+// qmake .. "CONFIG+=deploy"
+// ^ this will compile for both x64 and arm64 archs
+```
+4. Run make
+```
+make
+```
+
+## Distributing
+
+For distribution of the binary, you can use `macdeployqt` which patches the final app bundle with everything the users will need to run in the system.
