Install DevTools on Mac - General - Algorand

Install DevTools on Mac

post by cryptotraders on Apr 16, 2021

Hi, I am a newbie at Algorand and have started installing a non-archival mode. I followed the Documentation and after some trial and error I am pretty sure that I have setup and installed using the fastcatchup feature. The only issue I have is the documentation doesn’t explain how to install the Devtools on a Mac and I am not sure how to do this in terminal. If someone can help me through this I would appreciate it and then I can tackle installing participation Key etc.

Cheers

Eff

DevTools are installed automatically when using the ./update.sh script that is the default way of installing Algorand on mac.

The separate DevTools section only applies for linux packages.

Note that even on Linux, DevTools are not necessary to generate a participation key and participate.
