MacOS Installation - SapphireServer/Sapphire GitHub Wiki

Installing Sapphire on MacOS

You will need a development environment and at least OS X El Capitan (macOS High Sierra recommended) to build Sapphire. To setup your environment, Homebrew is recommended and this document will assume you're using it. To get started, see the Homebrew documentation, which also includes how to setup XCode Command Line Tools which you'll need for compilation.

Setup Dependencies

brew install cmake git mysql zlib

Clone the Source

git clone --recursive https://github.com/SapphireMordred/Sapphire.git sapphire

#required for current client version. Otherwise checkout the appropriate version for your client
git checkout develop 

Compile

mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang++
make -j 4

Configure

The build will output the binaries into bin/ in the folder you invoke cmake from, along with a subdirectory for config files. You will need the game data files plus a running DB to point the binaries at.

# configure MySQL, skip this if it's already running
mysql.server start
mysql_secure_installation
mysql.server stop

# start it as a service
brew services start mysql

You can then run the servers as normal processes.
