Mac OS X - Compilation from source instructions

Installing build prerequisites via Homebrew

^Top

We need to install the openssl library with brew:

brew install openssl

To run the local install script below, we also require the GNU versions of several core Unix utilities:

brew install coreutils

Configure the build

^Top

Clone the repository by running the following:

git clone https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3.git
cd proxmark3

Configure the build by editing Makefile.platform:

cp Makefile.platform.sample Makefile.platform
vim Makefile.platform

Compilation from source

^Top

The following command has been shown to work on MacOS Big Sur with the default Compiler Tools that comes installed on this release of the platform:

make clean && CFLAGS="-I /usr/local/opt/openssl/include" make

If you have sudo rights, you can install the proxmark3 utilities into the system path by running

sudo make install

Otherwise, assuming you are using the bash shell (using ``chsh -s /bin/bash `whoami```), we can create an alias to the relevant commands:

export BASHRC="~/.bash_profile"
export PM3LOCAL_PATH="$(greadlink -f .)"
touch $BASHRC
echo "alias pm3=\'$PM3LOCAL_PATH/pm3\'" >> $BASHRC
echo "alias pm3-flash=\'$PM3LOCAL_PATH/pm3-flash\'" >> $BASHRC
echo "alias pm3-flash-all=\'$PM3LOCAL_PATH/pm3-flash-all\'" >> $BASHRC
echo "alias pm3-flash-bootrom=\'$PM3LOCAL_PATH/pm3-flash-bootrom\'" >> $BASHRC
echo "alias pm3-flash-fullimage=\'$PM3LOCAL_PATH/pm3-flash-fullimage\'" >> $BASHRC

When you are done running the previous script, make sure to update the settings in your current shell (Mac Terminal) instance by running

source ~/.bash_profile

When you re-start the Mac terminal, new shell instances will automatically load these new settings.
