Installing Platform-Specific Packages on macOS (Advanced Setup)

Supported macOS versions

The following macOS versions are supported:

It might be possible to run qBittorrent CLI on earlier Mac OS X versions using mono runtime and platform-agnostics packages.

Download the qBittorrent CLI tar.gz-archive from the Releases page. The archive for macOS has the name qbt-osx-x64-<version>.tar.gz.
Create a folder qbt in /usr/local directory and cd into it:
```
sudo mkdir /usr/local/qbt && cd "$_"
```
You may want to install qBittorrent CLI in another folder. In this case change the paths in this tutorial correspondingly.
Extract the archive to the newly created folder:
```
sudo tar xvf /path/to/downloaded/archive.tar.gz
```
Add execute permission to the file /usr/local/qbt/qbt:
```
sudo chmod +x qbt
```
Create a symlink /usr/bin/qbt pointing to file /usr/local/qbt/qbt:
```
sudo ln -s /usr/local/qbt/qbt /usr/bin/qbt
```
Alternatively, you may put this symlink to any other folder in your PATH.

Run the following command:

qbt --help
