<h1>Running <code>barf</code> on MacOS</h1>
<p>2023-01-18</p>
<p>The <code>barf</code> project was built on Linux and was catered towards Linux users. The core of the project will remain focused on Linux/GNU tools, but that doesn't mean MacOS needs to be left out in the cold.</p>
<p>There are some very minor changes you'll need to make in the main <code>barf</code> script if you plan to run it on MacOS.</p>
<h2>Download Packages</h2>
<p>This walkthrough assumes that you already have <a href="https://brew.sh/">homebrew</a> installed on your machine.</p>
<p>You will need to install the GNU versions of both <code>date</code> and <code>sed</code> in order to avoid breaking things when <code>barf</code> tries to build.</p>
<pre><code>brew install coreutils
brew install gnu-sed
</code></pre>
<h2>The Script Tweaks</h2>
<p>Now open the main <code>barf</code> file in your project and replace all instances of <code>sed</code> with <code>gsed</code>.</p>
<p>Then change the following variable:</p>
<pre><code>published_date=$(date -d $basic_date +%FT%TZ)
</code></pre>
<p>to this:</p>
<pre><code>published_date=$(gdate -d $basic_date +%FT%TZ)
</code></pre>
<p>After that everything should work perfectly fine. There is probably a cleaner way to do this, but I like to keep things simple.</p>
