# Running `barf` on MacOS

The `barf` 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.
|
|
|
|
There are some very minor changes you'll need to make in the main `barf` script if you plan to run it on MacOS.
|
|
|
|
## Download Packages
|
|
|
|
This walkthrough assumes that you already have [homebrew](https://brew.sh/) installed on your machine.
|
|
|
|
You will need to install the GNU versions of both `date` and `sed` in order to avoid breaking things when `barf` tries to build.
|
|
|
|
|
|
brew install coreutils
|
|
brew install gnu-sed
|
|
|
|
|
|
## The Script Tweaks
|
|
|
|
Now open the main `barf` file in your project and replace all instances of `sed` with `gsed`.
|
|
|
|
Then change the following variable:
|
|
|
|
|
|
published_date=$(date -d $basic_date +%FT%TZ)
|
|
|
|
|
|
to this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
published_date=$(gdate -d $basic_date +%FT%TZ)
|
|
|
|
|
|
After that everything should work perfectly fine. There is probably a cleaner way to do this, but I like to keep things simple.
