Homebrew

Homebrew is a package manager for mac and linux that we will be using to install several items. You may also use another package manager if you have one that you prefer. Install it using the terminal window with

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Follow the instructions in the terminal to finish the installation.

Now check to make sure that it was installed correctly with

brew --version

SVN

SVN is used to checkout the source code repository. Install it with

Qt is used to render to BCI2000 windows. Qt version 6 is the only version that is supported on Non-Windows Platforms. Install it with
