Make sure you address any errors or warnings before proceeding as they may prevent the miners from installing. Open up Terminal.app and run the following command (from the Homebrew homepage):Īfter you install Homebrew, make sure you run the following command (as the installer should instruct you): It is similar to MacPorts for OS X or apt for Linux. Homebrew is a package manager for OS X that provides a sane way of installing *nix tools, libraries, and their dependencies. If the text next to Xcode Command Line Tools says Installed, carry on to the next step. Click the Downloads tab and then click Install next to Command Line Tools. Launch Xcode and then click the Xcode>Preferences menu item.
Next you’ll need the Xcode Command Line Tools. Xcode is a free download from the Apple App Store. To get started, you will need to install the Xcode. Both miners offer similar performance in my experience. However, I have had good luck with both tools and have worked with both authors in order to fix a crash ( cgminer, bfgminer) related to multiple GPU’s on OS X and have no complaints whatsoever. Now, I have no dog in this fight, but my understanding is that the teams aren’t on great terms. The bfgminer project is a fork of the cgminer project. These are native C miners and, paired with the right kernels, their performance exceeds the other two miners by quite a wide margin. For that you’ll want to look at cgminer and bfgminer. However, while these miners are relatively easy to install and use, they do not offer the best performance when it comes to hash rates. In my previous two posts in this series I introduced two easy-to-use bitcoin miners for OS X: BitMinter and GUIMiner.
