<h1>Running <code>barf</code> on MacOS</h1>
<p>2023-01-18</p>
<p>The <code>barf</code> 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.</p>
<p>There are some very minor changes you'll need to make to your default <code>sed</code> and <code>date</code> paths if you plan to run barf on MacOS.</p>
<h2>Download Packages</h2>
<p>This walkthrough assumes that you already have <a href="https://brew.sh/">homebrew</a> installed on your machine.</p>
<p>You will need to install the GNU versions of both <code>date</code> and <code>sed</code> in order to avoid breaking things when <code>barf</code> tries to build.</p>
<pre><code>brew install coreutils
brew install gnu-sed
</code></pre>
<h2>Setting <code>gsed</code> and <code>gdate</code> as Default</h2>
<p>Now run the following in a terminal shell:</p>
<pre><code>sudo ln -fs /opt/homebrew/bin/gsed /usr/local/bin/sed
sudo ln -fs /opt/homebrew/bin/gdate /usr/local/bin/date
</code></pre>
<p>and add the following to your <code>.bash_profile</code> file:</p>
<pre><code>export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
</code></pre>
<p>Reload your <code>bash</code> instance and everything should work as intended!</p>
