Build PowerShell on OS X

This guide supplements the Linux instructions, 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, the missing package manager for OS X. Once installed, use brew to install the following dependencies.

brew install openssl cmake wget

Instead of using .NET CLI's Ubuntu package feed, you will want to use the official PKG installer.

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.
