# 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!
