# MacOS

### Download Binary

Currently arm (i.e. M series) CPUs are supported. The binary can be downloaded from the following URL:

* [Oda MacOS arm](https://moreficent-oda-binary.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/oda_macos_arm)

### Run Binary

MacOS imposes a stronger security fence around unsigned binaries downloaded from the internet, therefore a few extra steps have to be followed before the program can be executed. 

The first steps are the same as they are for [Linux](/getting-started/linux.md):

* Rename the binary to `oda`
* Make the file executable
* Invoke the file with the `--help` flag

```shell
mv oda_macos_arm oda
chmod +x oda
./oda --help
```

This will trigger a prompt:

* Open System Preferences
* Go to Security & Privacy
* Go to the General tab
* Click Allow Anyway

* Go back to the terminal and invoke the binary with the --help flag
* The operating system will show another warning. Click on Open

MacOS will now allow the binary to be executed without throwing warnings.&#x20;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://oda.moreficent.com/getting-started/macos.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
