Building the application (macOS)

Open the Terminal application. Is is located in the Utilities folder, under Applications.

Install Homebrew

Homebrew is a package manager for macOS, and it streamlines the process of installing packages. Paste and execute the following command in Terminal:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

This may take a few minutes.

Install Node.js and pnpm

Node.js and pnpm will allow you to build the OpenHome application. Execute the following commands to install them:

brew install node
curl -fsSL https://get.pnpm.io/install.sh | sh -

Once that has finished, verify the installation was successful by running these commands:

node -v
pnpm -v

Download the OpenHome source code

Visit https://github.com/andrewbenington/OpenHome/releases and download the source code zip archive from the latest release, under "Assets". Unzip the file. Right-click (or ctrl + click) the resulting folder and click "New Terminal at folder". This should open a Terminal window starting in that folder.

Build and run the app

In the window that opens, run the following commands:

pnpm install
npx tauri build --target aarch64-apple-darwin # for Intel Macs use --target x86_64-apple-darwin

These will take a bit. When they're finished, execute the following command to open the folder with the disk image:

Apple Silicon (Most Macs since 2020):

open ./src-tauri/target/aarch64-apple-darwin/release/bundle/dmg/

Intel (Most Macs before 2020):

open ./src-tauri/target/x86_64-apple-darwin/release/bundle/dmg/

A Finder window should open, and in it will be multiple files including two disk images. Open OpenHome-x.x.x-arm64.dmg if you have an Apple Silicon Mac, otherwise open OpenHome-x.x.x.dmg. Drag the app to the Applications folder, and now you can open it!
