This guide supplements the Linux instructions, as building on macOS is almost identical.
.NET Core 2.0 (and by transitivity, us) only supports macOS 10.12.
You will want Homebrew, the missing package manager for macOS.
Once installed, follow the same instructions to download and
install a self-hosted copy of PowerShell on your macOS machine,
and use Start-PSBootstrap
to install the dependencies.
The Start-PSBootstrap
function does the following:
- Uses
brew
to install CMake, OpenSSL, and GNU WGet - Uninstalls any prior versions of .NET CLI
- Downloads and installs a preview version of .NET Core SDK 2.0 to
~/.dotnet
If you want to use dotnet
outside of Start-PSBuild
,
add ~/.dotnet
to your PATH
environment variable.
Due to a bug in NuGet, the dotnet restore
command will fail without the limit increased.
Run ulimit -n 2048
to fix this in your session;
add it to your shell's profile to fix it permanently.
We cannot do this for you in the build module due to #847.
Start a PowerShell session by running pwsh
, and then use Start-PSBuild
from the module.
After building, PowerShell will be at ./src/powershell-unix/bin/Linux/netcoreapp2.0/osx.10.12-x64/publish/powershell
.
Note that configuration is still Linux
.
