XCode

• Install Xcode from Apple (free registration required): http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/ or from your Mac OS X installation disk (macports needs XCode >= 3.1, so if you do not have that version or greater you will need to download the latest version, which is 900+ MB)

You can install the necessary dependencies using either MacPorts or Homebrew.

Using MacPorts

• Download and install the MacPorts dmg image from http://www.macports.org

• After installing, update it from the terminal: sudo port -v selfupdate

sudo port install cmake jemalloc judy openssl boost gnutls

Using Homebrew

• Download and install Homebrew from https:brew.sh

brew install cmake jemalloc traildb/judy/judy openssl boost gnutls

Your Mac should now have everything it needs to get, compile, and otherwise work with the MariaDB source code. The next step is to actually get a copy of the code. For help with this see the Getting the MariaDB Source Code page.
