Steem OS X Build Instructions

  1. Install XCode and its command line tools by following the instructions here: https://guide.macports.org/#installing.xcode. In OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) and newer, you will be prompted to install developer tools when running a devloper command in the terminal. This step may not be needed.

  2. Install Homebrew by following the instructions here: http://brew.sh/

  3. Initialize Homebrew:

    brew doctor
brew update
brew tap homebrew/versions

  4. Install dependencies:

    brew install homebrew/versions/boost160 cmake git openssl autoconf automake libtool python3

    Note: brew recently updated to boost 1.61.0, which is not yet supported by Steem. Until then, this will allow you to install boost 1.60.0.

  5. Optional. To use TCMalloc in LevelDB:

    brew install google-perftools

  6. Clone the Steem repository:

    git clone https://github.com/steemit/steem.git
cd steem

  7. Build Steem:

    export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2h_1/
export BOOST_ROOT=/usr/local/Cellar/boost160/1.60.0/
git submodule update --init --recursive
cmake -DBOOST_ROOT="$BOOST_ROOT" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
make

    Note, if you have multiple cores and you would like to compile faster, you can append -j <number of threads> to make e.g.:

    make -j4

    Also, some useful build targets for make are:

    steemd
chain_test
cli_wallet

    e.g.:

    make steemd

    This will only build steemd

  8. cmake Build Options: See README.md for a detailed description of available cmake options
