Quick Start Guide (macOS)

System Setup

macOS users will need to use brew in order to install the required software. If you do not have brew, getting it is as simple as running the following in your terminal:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Once this command has completed, go ahead and run these brew commands in order:

# Update brew's package repository so that we get the most up-to-date software

brew update

# Install FFmpeg and make sure to include all available build flags for full codec coverage

brew install ffmpeg --with-fdk-aac --with-ffplay --with-freetype --with-frei0r --with-libass --with-libvo-aacenc --with-libvorbis --with-libvpx --with-opencore-amr --with-openjpeg --with-opus --with-theora --with-tools

# Install MP4Box, GPAC's MP4 authoring libraries

brew install mp4box

# Install Node/npm

brew install node
