# 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](https://oda.moreficent.com/getting-started/linux):

* 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:

* 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;
