Brew tap for macOS

If you're using macOS and brew, you can install Octez binaries from the taps provided by this repository. There are two taps: one for the latest stable release of Octez and one for the latest release candidate of Octez.

In order to use latest stable version run the following:

brew tap serokell/tezos-packaging-stable https://github.com/serokell/tezos-packaging-stable.git

In order to use the latest release candidate version run the following:

brew tap serokell/tezos-packaging-rc https://github.com/serokell/tezos-packaging-rc.git

Once the desired tap is selected, you can install the chosen package, e.g.:

brew install tezos-client

For faster formulae installation we provide prebuilt bottles for some macOS versions in our releases, see our support policy for more information.

Launchd background services on macOS.

IMPORTANT: All provided launchd services are run as a user agents, thus they're stopped after the logout.

tezos-accuser-<proto>, tezos-baker-<proto> formulas provide backround services for running the corresponding daemons.

Since tezos-node and tezos-signer need multiple services they are provided in dedicated meta-formulas. These formulas don't install any binaries and only add background services.

Formulae with tezos-node background services are, for example:

  • tezos-node-mainnet
  • tezos-node-ghostnet

The formulae with tezos-signer background services are instead:

  • tezos-signer-http
  • tezos-signer-https
  • tesos-signer-tcp
  • tezos-signer-unix

To start the service: brew services start <formula>.

To stop the service: brew services stop <formula>.

All of the brew services have various configurable env variables. These variables can be changed in the corresponding /usr/local/Cellar/tezos-signer-tcp/<version>/homebrew.mxcl.<formula>.plist. Once the configuration is updated, you should restart the service: brew services restart <formula>.

Building brew bottles

In order to build bottles with Tezos binaries run the build-one-bottle.sh script with the formula that you want to build. For example:

./scripts/build-one-bottle.sh tezos-client

Note that several formulae have tezos-sapling-params has a dependency, so you might need to run:

brew install --formula ./Formula/tezos-sapling-params.rb

first.

Building many of these might take a while, because builds don't share common parts and for each binary the dependencies are compiled from scratch. Once the bottles are built, the corresponding sections in the formulae should be updated. Also, bottles should be uploaded to the release artifacts.
