Installing manually on macOS
Yggdrasil is supported on macOS. You can either download the latest binary from CircleCI or you can build from source.
Download binaries
Download the relevant macOS yggdrasil and yggdrasilctl binaries from the
Builds page.
System Integrity Protection in macOS prevents you from copying files into
/usr/bin, therefore you should install into /usr/local/bin:
sudo cp {yggdrasil,yggdrasilctl} /usr/local/bin
Build from source
macOS has most of the tools needed to build Yggdrasil from source - you just need to install the Go toolchain. Yggdrasil requires Go 1.11 as a minimum.
- Install the latest version of Go for your platform
Clone the repository and build:
cd /path/to
git clone https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/yggdrasil-go
Build Yggdrasil:
cd /path/to/yggdrasil-go
./build
The build will produce yggdrasil and yggdrasilctl binaries. System Integrity
Protection in macOS prevents you from copying files into /usr/bin, therefore
you should install into /usr/local/bin:
sudo cp {yggdrasil,yggdrasilctl} /usr/local/bin
Debug builds
You can create a debug build by running ./build -d instead of
./build. Debug builds contain profiling code as well as additional debugging
symbols. They are likely to be larger files as a result.
Install launchd service
launchd service scripts are included in the contrib/macos/ folder so that it
runs automatically in the background (using /etc/yggdrasil.conf for
configuration).
Copy the service files:
sudo cp contrib/macos/yggdrasil.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/
Enable and start Yggdrasil:
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/yggdrasil.plist
sudo launchctl start /Library/LaunchDaemons/yggdrasil.plist
Once installed as a launchd service, you can read the yggdrasil output in the
following files:
tail -f /tmp/yggdrasil.stdout.log
tail -f /tmp/yggdrasil.stderr.log
Generate configuration
Generate an initial Yggdrasil configuration file:
sudo yggdrasil -genconf > /etc/yggdrasil.conf
You can make changes to this file as described in the Configuration page.
After installation
Read the macOS platform page page for further information about macOS platform support.
