+# Running `barf` on MacOS
+
+2023-01-18
+
+The `barf` project was built on Linux and was catered towards Linux users. The core of the project will remain focused on Linux/GNU tools, but that doesn't mean MacOS needs to be left out in the cold.
+
+There are some very minor changes you'll need to make to your default `sed` and `date` paths if you plan to run barf on MacOS.
+
+## Download Packages
+
+This walkthrough assumes that you already have [homebrew](https://brew.sh/) installed on your machine.
+
+You will need to install the GNU versions of both `date` and `sed` in order to avoid breaking things when `barf` tries to build.
+
+
+    brew install coreutils
+    brew install gnu-sed
+
+
+## Setting `gsed` and `gdate` as Default
+
+Now run the following in a terminal shell:
+
+    sudo ln -fs /opt/homebrew/bin/gsed /usr/local/bin/sed
+    sudo ln -fs /opt/homebrew/bin/gdate /usr/local/bin/date
+
+and add the following to your `.bash_profile` file:
+
+    export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
+
+Reload your `bash` instance and everything should work as intended!
