Installing manually on macOS
Yggdrasil is supported on macOS.
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.
