Have you been thinking it's
“Way too hard to acquire these Monero Bucks”?
A Step By Step Guide to Compiling Monero on OSX:I've noticed an increase of people wanting to compile the latest code. While there are plenty of Linux resources I haven't seen many for OSX. Also, the bitmonero Github README points to instructions that install an older release, which is not what you want.
The good thing is, the instructions are not much different from Linux, but if you're new to the command line this may be intimidating to figure out.
Just follow these instructions step by step in your Terminal and you'll be running in no time.
1. Install Homebrew.
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"2. Install various packages needed to build the Monero daemon and wallet.
brew install git boost cmake libevent miniupnpc3. Clone the bitmonero repository to your computer using Git.
git clone https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero.git bitmonero4.
cd bitmonero5. Finally, compile the code.
make release6. If you get no errors, you're ready to start the daemon and begin syncing the blockchain.
cd build/release/bin./bitmonerod7. Command+T to open another Terminal tab. Now you can run simplewallet and start using Monero!
./simplewallet8. If you found this guide helpful, feel free to donate 1 XMR like so:

Thx at first for the guide but I got some problems.
I just tryed to install the monero wallet, but getting error message after step 1 of this manual. plus I'am new in using the terminal.
end of sucessfull step 1:
Install Xcode:
https://developer.apple.com/xcodeRun `brew help` to get started
Further documentation:
https://git.io/brew-docs==> Homebrew has enabled anonymous aggregate user behaviour analytics
Read the analytics documentation (and how to opt-out) here:
https://git.io/brew-analyticswithout installing x-code I get this error message by step 2:

xyz-xyzs-MacBook-Pro-15:~ xyzxyz$
so is the error caused by the absence of x-code or is their another reason for it? Btw. I'am downloading now x code takes around 2 hours my internet connection is unfortunately mediocre.
so thx for reading.
