Update synapse installation doc #1661
Conversation
| - **Rust**: run ``curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh``. more information can be found here https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install | ||
| - **icu4c**: Run ``brew install icu4c`` | ||
| - **Update env variables for icu4c**: if you use zsh run ``echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/icu4c/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc``. Otherwise try to update ``.bash_profile`` in the same way. If you can’t find ``icu4c`` in the default homebew folder try to run ``which icu4c`` to find the correct path and update the command above. | ||
| - **pg_config**: you can get it by running ``brew install postgresql`` |

In https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/13480/files, we postulated that libpq would be enough. Had you tried that out?

Do you mean libpq instead of postgresql?
(I think so after reading the original issue, let me try it)

Doesn't work for me:
$ brew install libpq
Warning: libpq 15.1 is already installed and up-to-date.
To reinstall 15.1, run:
brew reinstall libpq
$ which pg_config
pg_config not found

Hm, ok sorry I may have mixed this up then. It's odd though that postgres is not mentioned in the official install instructions?

Would it be possible to point to the Synapse docs and ensure those are correct instead of duplicating them here? |
@clokep for what I saw the official documentation explains how to install synapse using prebuilt packages or as a PyPI module. |
There's a section on what you need to install for macOS: https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/setup/installation.html#macos There's also information in the developer guide of requirements: https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/development/contributing_guide.html#2-what-do-i-need That seems to already mention rust though. |
This seems to be under PyPI. The scope is probably different.
Yeah it's mentioned. The problem I guess is that there aren't platform specific sections for devs? |
