# Building SRT on macOS

[Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) supports the [srt](https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/srt) formula.

``shell brew update brew install srt ``

If you prefer using a head commit of master branch, add the –HEAD option to brew command.

``shell brew install --HEAD srt ``

Install [CMake](https://cmake.org/) and OpenSSL with development files from brew. It is recommended to install the latest version of OpenSSL from the brew system rather than relying on the version that is presently installed in the system.

``shell brew install cmake brew install openssl brew install pkgconfig ``

SRT can be now built with cmake or make on Mac.

``shell export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=$(brew --prefix openssl) export OPENSSL_LIB_DIR=$(brew --prefix openssl)"/lib" export OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=$(brew --prefix openssl)"/include" ./configure make ``
