# Homebrew (Mac OS X)
These instructions comes from @Chrisfu, where we got the proxmark3.rb scriptfile from.
For further questions about Mac & Homebrew, contact @Chrisfu (https://github.com/chrisfu/)
1. Install homebrew if you haven't yet already done so: http://brew.sh/
2. Tap this repo: `brew tap RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3`
3. Install Proxmark3: `brew install proxmark3` for stable release or `brew install --HEAD proxmark3` for latest non-stable from GitHub.
## Upgrading HomeBrew tap formula
*This method is useful for those looking to run bleeding-edge versions of RRG/iceman's client. Keep this in mind when attempting to update your HomeBrew tap formula as this procedure could easily cause a build to break if an update is unstable on macOS.*
Tested on macOS Mojave 10.14.4
*Note: This assumes you have already installed RRG/iceman's fork from HomeBrew as mentioned above*
Force HomeBrew to pull the latest source from github
```sh
brew upgrade --fetch-HEAD proxmark3
```
## Flash the BOOTROM & FULLIMAGE
With your Proxmark3 unplugged from your machine, press and hold the button on your Proxmark3 as you plug it into a USB port. Continue to hold the button until after this step is complete and the `proxmark3-flasher` command outputs "Have a nice day!"
```sh
sudo proxmark3-flasher /dev/tty.usbmodemiceman1 -b /usr/local/Cellar/proxmark3/HEAD-<Commit-ID>/share/firmware/bootrom.elf /usr/local/Cellar/proxmark3/HEAD-<Commit-ID>/share/firmware/fullimage.elf
```
> Replace \<Commit-ID\> with the HEAD-XXXX ID displayed by brew.
> Depending on the firmware version your Proxmark3 can also appear as `/dev/tty.usbmodem881`
## Run the client
```sh
sudo proxmark3 /dev/tty.usbmodemiceman1
```
