Please note this article is intended for development, and eden on macOS is not currently ready for regular use.

This article was written for developers. eden support for macOS is not ready for casual use.

## Method I: ninja

If you are compiling on Intel Mac or are using a Rosetta Homebrew installation, you must replace all references of `/opt/homebrew` to `/usr/local`.

Install dependencies from Homebrew:
```sh
brew install autoconf automake boost ccache ffmpeg fmt glslang hidapi libtool libusb lz4 ninja nlohmann-json openssl pkg-config qt@6 sdl2 speexdsp zlib zlib zstd cmake Catch2 molten-vk vulkan-loader
```

Clone the repo
```sh
git clone --recursive https://git.eden-emu.dev/eden-emu/eden

cd eden
```

Build for release
```sh
mkdir build && cd build

export Qt6_DIR="/opt/homebrew/opt/qt@6/lib/cmake"

export LIBVULKAN_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib/libvulkan.dylib

cmake .. -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DYUZU_USE_BUNDLED_VCPKG=OFF -DYUZU_TESTS=OFF -DENABLE_WEB_SERVICE=ON -DENABLE_LIBUSB=OFF -DCLANG_FORMAT=ON -DSDL2_DISABLE_INSTALL=ON -DSDL_ALTIVEC=ON

ninja
```

You may also want to include support for Discord Rich Presence by adding `-DUSE_DISCORD_PRESENCE=ON` after `cmake ..`

Build with debug symbols (vcpkg is not currently used due to broken boost-context library):
```sh
mkdir build && cd build
export Qt6_DIR="/opt/homebrew/opt/qt@6/lib/cmake"
cmake .. -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DYUZU_USE_BUNDLED_VCPKG=OFF -DYUZU_TESTS=OFF -DENABLE_WEB_SERVICE=OFF -DENABLE_LIBUSB=OFF
ninja
```

Run the output:
```
bin/eden.app/Contents/MacOS/eden
```

Run the output:
```

To run with MoltenVK, install additional dependencies:
```sh
brew install molten-vk vulkan-loader
```

Run with Vulkan loader path:
```sh
export LIBVULKAN_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib/libvulkan.dylib
bin/eden.app/Contents/MacOS/eden
```
