Introduction

The Broadband Platform is compatible with Linux as well as OS X. However, due to some recent changes that Apple has made to their Xcode development tools, users on Mavericks (OS X 10.9) and Yosemite (OS X 10.10) will need to follow some additional steps to make the installation work.

OS X 10.9 Mavericks

Installing OS X on Mavericks is possible by following these steps:

1) Install Xcode from the Mac App Store.
2) Install the Xcode command line tools. To do this, in your Terminal window, please type in sudo xcode-select --install. A dialog box will pop-up asking if you want to install the command line tools. Please choose "OK" on this box.
3) Then install MacPorts from http://www.macports.org. MacPorts helps install the requirements to compile the Broadband Platform. The version of MacPorts we used was 2.3.3. Please note that to install MacPorts you must agree to the Xcode license terms. After running the MacPorts installer, please go to your Terminal and run the command sudo xcodebuild -license.
4) Install GCC 4.8 using the following command: sudo port install gcc48
​​​​5) Select the new compiler as the default compiler using the command: sudo port select gcc mp-gcc48
6) Install the PIP package manager for Python, using the command: sudo easy_install pip
7) Install PyProj, using the command: sudo pip install pyproj
8) Compile the Broadband Platform by going into the src directory and typing "make"

OS X 10.10 Yosemite

In order to install the Broadband Platform on Yosemite, you must follow these steps:

1) Install Xcode from the Mac App Store.
2) Install the Xcode command line tools. To do this, in your Terminal window, please type in sudo xcode-select --install. A dialog box will pop-up asking if you want to install the command line tools. Please choose "OK" on this box.
