Build PowerShell on OS X
========================
This guide supplements the [Linux instructions](./linux.md), as
building on OS X is almost identical.
Please keep in mind that we do not yet routinely test on OS X, but
some developers use PowerShell on 10.10 and 10.11.
Environment
===========
You will want [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/), the missing package manager
for OS X. Once installed, use `brew` to install the following
dependencies.
```sh
brew install openssl cmake wget
```
Instead of using .NET CLI's Ubuntu package feed, you will want to use
the official PKG installer.
```sh
wget https://dotnetcli.blob.core.windows.net/dotnet/beta/Installers/Latest/dotnet-dev-osx-x64.latest.pkg
open ./dotnet-dev-osx-x64.latest.pkg
```
Then follow the wizard's instructions to complete installation.
Build using our module
======================
Instead of installing the Ubuntu package of PowerShell, download the
`pkg` from our GitHub releases page using your browser, complete the
wizard, start a `powershell` session, and use `Start-PSBuild` from the
module.
