In the past, I used to rely on the version of Apache and PHP that came pre-loaded with the OS on my MacBook Pro. I would then install the PHP extensions I needed (Xdebug, Redis, etc.) from Homebrew.

Homebrew complements macOS (or your Linux system). Install your RubyGems with gem and their dependencies with brew. “To install, drag this icon” no more. Homebrew Cask installs macOS apps, fonts and plugins and other non-open source software. $ brew install -cask firefox. Making a cask is as simple as creating a formula. $ brew install git. Apple ships a binary package of Git with Xcode. Binary installer. Tim Harper provides an installer for Git. The latest version is 2.32.0, which was released 17 days ago, on 2021-07-21. Building from Source. If you prefer to build from source, you can find tarballs on kernel.org. The latest version is 2.32.0.

I’m trying to install the whole thing on Mac OS Catalina (10.15.3) but with Homebrew; not with Macport.

An easy way to obtain libgdiplus is by using the Homebrew ('brew') package manager for macOS. After installing brew, install libgdiplus by executing the following commands at a Terminal (command) prompt: brew update brew install mono-libgdiplus Install with an installer. MacOS has standalone installers that can be used to install the.NET 5.0 SDK.

So far so good, I managed to compile and run everything:

  • Python 3.8.1 built from source, with a binding to the latest TCL/TK (8.6.10)
  • compilation of the geoviewer, no errors, with Apple clang: version 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.17)

However, when I run flair (which starts without errors, except for missing fonts) then click “geometry”, I get a segmentation fault.

Has anyone tried the installation on Mac with Homebrew and could share how everything was compiled? If not I’ll try to provide more information for debugging.

I had to reconfigure my Macbook after sending it for repairs. During the reconfiguration period, I noticed the instructions I linked to in “Setting up a local MongoDB connection” were outdated.

Here’s an updated version on how to install MongoDB on a Mac.

There are a few steps:

First, you install Homebrew. If you’re curious about what Homebrew is, read this article.

Second, find the MongoDB tap.

Catalina

Third, install MongoDB.

MongoDB is now installed on your computer.

Preparations (Before MacOS Catalina)

Before you can use MongoDB, you need to create a /data/db folder on your computer to use MongoDB. You can create this folder with the following command:

You also need to give permissions to use it:

Now you can follow the rest of the article to set up your MongoDB connection.

Preparations (MacOS Catalina onwards)

Apple created a new Volume in Catalina for security purposes. If you’re on Catalina, you need to create the /data/db folder in System/Volumes/Data.

Using MongoDB

In the past, I can run the mongod command to start MongoDB. This no longer works out for the box from MongoDB v4.2.3 onwards.

Catalina

The best way to start MongoDB now is via brew services.

Starting MongoDB

Use this command:

MongoDB will start as a background service. Here’s what you’ll see:

You can use start instead of run. start will start MongoDB automatically when you login into your Macbook. I prefer run since I don’t want MongoDB to be running all the time.

Checking if MongoDB is running

Use this command:

Homebrew will list all running services. If MongoDB is running, mongodb-community will have a status set to started.

The Mongo Shell

If MongoDB is running, you should be able to access the Mongo shell with the mongo command.

Stopping MongoDB

Use this command:

Homebrew will stop MongoDB and let you know.
