Announce: librist now available on macOS through Homebrew
Hi,
The RIST library (shared and static), its header files and the four basic tools (ristreceiver
, ristsender
, rist2rist
and ristsrppasswd
) are now available on macOS as a standard Homebrew package, including on the new M1 ("Apple Silicon") Arm64-based Mac systems.
Homebrew is the standard package manager for all open-source software on macOS.
If you already have Homebrew setup on your Mac, installing RIST is just this:
brew install librist
If you haven't installed Homebrew yet, the somewhat esoteric command to install it is published on top of the Homebrew home page:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
On classical x86_64 Intel Macs, Homebrew is installed in /usr/local
. On Arm64-based Macs, the root is /opt/homebrew
. Make sure to have its bin
subdirectory in your PATH
.
If you had installed the previous temporary "Homebrew tap" that I had setup for RIST, deactivate it before reinstalling the new official version:
brew uninstall rist
brew untap tsduck/rist
To get this, I have pushed a "Homebrew formula" (that's the way it is named) for librist, which acts as a request to include a new package in Homebrew. That request was merged today. Note that the official package name is librist
, not rist
, upon request from the Homebrew maintainers.
