macOS installation
Follow the installation instructions from there: https://brew.sh Note: When installing Brew, the XCode Command Line Tools are also installed.
And then install the following packages:
brew install cmake swig wget protobuf
From a Terminal app, create the development directory in your home directory and clone the repository.
Note: instead of cloning https://github.com/cyberbotics/webots.git, we recommend to create your own fork and clone it, so that you can commit your changes directly on it.
git config --global credential.helper store
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global push.default simple
git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 https://github.com/cyberbotics/webots.git
cd webots
If you cloned Webots with the --recurse-submodules
option, you can skip this step.
Otherwise, you need to initialize the submodules used by Webots:
git submodule init
git submodule update
Check the content of scripts/install/bash_profile.mac
and append it at the end of your ~/.bash_profile
:
cat scripts/install/bash_profile.mac >> ~/.bash_profile
cat scripts/install/bash_profile.mac >> ~/.zprofile
source ~/.bash_profile
If needed, follow these instructions to install optional dependencies.
Compile Webots and automatically download the required resources in the dependencies
folder:
make -jX
Note: X
represents the number of threads for a speedy multi-threaded compilation. For example, type make -j12
on a CPU with four cores and hyper-threading.
make help
displays additional targets for debugging, profiling, cleaning, etc.
Once compiled, type ./webots
to launch it.
