## Preparation

The commands in this guide should be executed in a Terminal application.
The built-in one is located in
macOS comes with a built-in Terminal located in:

```
/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
```

## Preparation
Install the macOS command line tools:
### 1. Xcode Command Line Tools

```shell
The Xcode Command Line Tools are a collection of build tools for macOS.
These tools must be installed in order to build Dash Core from source.

To install, run the following command from your terminal:

``` bash
xcode-select --install
```

When the popup appears, click `Install`.
Upon running the command, you should see a popup appear.
Click on `Install` to continue the installation process.

Then install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh).
### 2. Homebrew Package Manager

## Dependencies
```shell
brew install automake libtool boost gmp miniupnpc pkg-config python qt@5 libevent libnatpmp qrencode
Homebrew is a package manager for macOS that allows one to install packages from the command line easily.
While several package managers are available for macOS, this guide will focus on Homebrew as it is the most popular.
Since the examples in this guide which walk through the installation of a package will use Homebrew, it is recommended that you install it to follow along.
Otherwise, you can adapt the commands to your package manager of choice.

To install the Homebrew package manager, see: https://brew.sh

Note: If you run into issues while installing Homebrew or pulling packages, refer to [Homebrew's troubleshooting page](https://docs.brew.sh/Troubleshooting).

### 3. Install Required Dependencies

The first step is to download the required dependencies.
These dependencies represent the packages required to get a barebones installation up and running.
To install, run the following from your terminal:

``` bash
brew install automake libtool boost gmp pkg-config libevent
```

If you run into issues, check [Homebrew's troubleshooting page](https://docs.brew.sh/Troubleshooting).
See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview.
### 4. Clone Dash repository

The wallet support requires one or both of the dependencies ([*SQLite*](#sqlite) and [*Berkeley DB*](#berkeley-db)) in the sections below.
To build Dash Core without wallet, see [*Disable-wallet mode*](#disable-wallet-mode).
`git` should already be installed by default on your system.
Now that all the required dependencies are installed, let's clone the Dash Core repository to a directory.
All build scripts and commands will run from this directory.

#### SQLite
``` bash
git clone https://github.com/dashpay/dash.git
```

Usually, macOS installation already has a suitable SQLite installation.
Also, the Homebrew package could be installed:
### 5. Install Optional Dependencies

```shell
#### Wallet Dependencies

It is not necessary to build wallet functionality to run `dashd` or `dash-qt`.
To enable legacy wallets, you must install `berkeley-db@4`.
To enable [descriptor wallets](https://github.com/dashpay/dash/blob/master/doc/descriptors.md), `sqlite` is required.
Skip `berkeley-db@4` if you intend to *exclusively* use descriptor wallets.

###### Legacy Wallet Support

`berkeley-db@4` is required to enable support for legacy wallets.
Skip if you don't intend to use legacy wallets.

``` bash
brew install berkeley-db@4
```

###### Descriptor Wallet Support

Note: Apple has included a useable `sqlite` package since macOS 10.14.
You may not need to install this package.

`sqlite` is required to enable support for descriptor wallets.
Skip if you don't intend to use descriptor wallets.

``` bash
brew install sqlite
```
---

In that case the Homebrew package will prevail.
#### GUI Dependencies

If you want to build the disk image with `make deploy` (.dmg / optional), you need:
[`macdeployqtplus`](../contrib/macdeploy/README.md) dependencies:
```shell
###### Qt

Dash Core includes a GUI built with the cross-platform Qt Framework.
To compile the GUI, we need to install `qt@5`.
Skip if you don't intend to use the GUI.

``` bash
brew install qt@5
```

Note: Building with Qt binaries downloaded from the Qt website is not officially supported.
See the notes in [#7714](https://github.com/dashpay/dash/issues/7714).

###### qrencode

The GUI can encode addresses in a QR Code. To build in QR support for the GUI, install `qrencode`.
Skip if not using the GUI or don't want QR code functionality.

``` bash
brew install qrencode
```
---

#### Port Mapping Dependencies

###### miniupnpc

miniupnpc may be used for UPnP port mapping.
Skip if you do not need this functionality.

``` bash
brew install miniupnpc
```

###### libnatpmp

libnatpmp may be used for NAT-PMP port mapping.
Skip if you do not need this functionality.

``` bash
brew install libnatpmp
```

Note: UPnP and NAT-PMP support will be compiled in and disabled by default.
Check out the [further configuration](#further-configuration) section for more information.

---

#### ZMQ Dependencies

Support for ZMQ notifications requires the following dependency.
Skip if you do not need ZMQ functionality.

``` bash
brew install zeromq
```

ZMQ is automatically compiled in and enabled if the dependency is detected.
Check out the [further configuration](#further-configuration) section for more information.

For more information on ZMQ, see: [zmq.md](zmq.md)

---

#### Test Suite Dependencies

There is an included test suite that is useful for testing code changes when developing.
To run the test suite (recommended), you will need to have Python 3 installed:

``` bash
brew install python
```

---

#### Deploy Dependencies

You can deploy a `.dmg` containing the Dash Core application using `make deploy`.
This command depends on a couple of python packages, so it is required that you have `python` installed.

Ensuring that `python` is installed, you can install the deploy dependencies by running the following commands in your terminal:

``` bash
pip3 install ds_store mac_alias
```

#### Berkeley DB
## Building Dash Core

### 1. Configuration

There are many ways to configure Dash Core, here are a few common examples:

##### Wallet (BDB + SQlite) Support, No GUI:

If `berkeley-db@4` is installed, then legacy wallet support will be built.
If `berkeley-db@4` is not installed, then this will throw an error.
If `sqlite` is installed, then descriptor wallet support will also be built.
Additionally, this explicitly disables the GUI.

``` bash
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-gui=no
```

###### Berkeley DB

It is recommended to use Berkeley DB 4.8. If you have to build it yourself,
you can use [the installation script included in contrib/](contrib/install_db4.sh)

./contrib/install_db4.sh .
```

from the root of the repository.
##### Wallet (only SQlite) and GUI Support:

Also, the Homebrew package could be installed:
This explicitly enables the GUI and disables legacy wallet support.
If `qt` is not installed, this will throw an error.
If `sqlite` is installed then descriptor wallet functionality will be built.
If `sqlite` is not installed, then wallet functionality will be disabled.

```shell
brew install berkeley-db4
``` bash
./autogen.sh
./configure --without-bdb --with-gui=yes
```

## Build Dash Core
##### No Wallet or GUI

1. Clone the Dash Core source code:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/dashpay/dash
cd dash
```
``` bash
./autogen.sh
./configure --without-wallet --with-gui=no
```

2. Build Dash Core:
##### Further Configuration

Configure and build the headless Dash Core binaries as well as the GUI (if Qt is found).
You may want to dig deeper into the configuration options to achieve your desired behavior.
Examine the output of the following command for a full list of configuration options:

You can disable the GUI build by passing `--without-gui` to configure.
```shell
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
```
``` bash
./configure -help
```

3. It is recommended to build and run the unit tests:
```shell
make check
```
### 2. Compile

4. You can also create a `.dmg` that contains the `.app` bundle (optional):
```shell
make deploy
```
After configuration, you are ready to compile.
Run the following in your terminal to compile Dash Core:

## Disable-wallet mode
When the intention is to run only a P2P node without a wallet, Dash Core may be
compiled in disable-wallet mode with:
```shell
./configure --disable-wallet
``` bash
make -jx # use -jX here for parallelism
make check # Run tests if Python 3 is available
```

In this case there is no dependency on [*Berkeley DB*](#berkeley-db) and [*SQLite*](#sqlite).
### 3. Deploy (optional)

Mining is also possible in disable-wallet mode using the `getblocktemplate` RPC call.
You can also create a `.dmg` containing the `.app` bundle by running the following command:

## Running
``` bash
make deploy
```

## Running Dash Core

Dash Core should now be available at `./src/dashd`.
If you compiled support for the GUI, it should be available at `./src/qt/dash-qt`.

Dash Core is now available at `./src/dashd`
The first time you run `dashd` or `dash-qt`, it will start downloading the blockchain.
This process could take many hours, or even days on slower than average systems.

By default, blockchain and wallet data files will be stored in:

``` bash
/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/Dash/
```

Before running, you may create an empty configuration file:

```shell
mkdir -p "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/DashCore"

The first time you run dashd, it will start downloading the blockchain. This process could take many hours, or even days on slower than average systems.

You can monitor the download process by looking at the debug.log file:

```shell
tail -f $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/DashCore/debug.log
```

## Other commands:

```shell
./src/dashd -daemon # Starts the dash daemon.
./src/dashd -daemon # Starts the dashd daemon.
./src/dash-cli --help # Outputs a list of command-line options.
./src/dash-cli help # Outputs a list of RPC commands when the daemon is running.
./src/qt/dash-qt -server # Starts the dash-qt server mode, allows dash-cli control
```

## Notes

* Tested on OS X 10.12 Sierra through macOS 10.15 Catalina on 64-bit Intel
processors only.
* Building with downloaded Qt binaries is not officially supported. See the notes in [#7714](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7714).

## Command-line options
### Changes in existing cmd-line options:

- `-walletnotify=<cmd>` has a new format options "%h" and "%b".
%b is replaced by the hash of the block including the transaction (set to 'unconfirmed' if the transaction is not included).
%h is replaced by the block height (-1 if not included).
