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.

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.
