.. _quickstart-macos: ======================= Quickstart for Mac OSX ======================= .. default-domain:: minio .. |OS| replace:: MacOS This procedure deploys a :ref:`Single-Node Single-Drive ` MinIO server onto |OS| for early development and evaluation of MinIO Object Storage and its S3-compatible API layer. For instructions on deploying to production environments, see :ref:`deploy-minio-distributed`. Prerequisites ------------- - Read, write, and execute permissions for the user's home directory - Familiarity with using the Terminal Procedure --------- #. Install the MinIO Server .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: Homebrew Open a Terminal and run the following command to install the latest stable MinIO package using `Homebrew `_. .. code-block:: shell :class: copyable brew install minio/stable/minio .. important:: If you previously installed the MinIO server using ``brew install minio``, then we recommend that you reinstall from ``minio/stable/minio`` instead. .. code-block:: shell :class: copyable brew uninstall minio brew install minio/stable/minio .. tab-item:: Binary - arm64 Open a Terminal, then use the following commands to download the standalone MinIO server for MacOS and make it executable. .. code-block:: shell :class: copyable curl -O https://dl.min.io/server/minio/release/darwin-arm64/minio chmod +x minio .. tab-item:: Binary - amd64 Open a Terminal, then use the following commands to download the standalone MinIO server for MacOS and make it executable. .. code-block:: shell :class: copyable curl -O https://dl.min.io/server/minio/release/darwin-amd64/minio chmod +x minio #. Launch the :mc:`minio server` From the Terminal, use this command to start a local MinIO instance in the ``~/data`` folder. If desired, you can replace ``~/data`` with another location to which the user has read, write, and delete access for the MinIO instance. .. code-block:: shell :class: copyable ~/minio server ~/data --console-address :9090 If you installed with Homebrew, do not include the ``~/`` at the beginning of the command. The :mc:`minio server` process prints its output to the system console, similar to the following: .. code-block:: shell API: http://192.0.2.10:9000 http://127.0.0.1:9000 RootUser: minioadmin RootPass: minioadmin Console: http://192.0.2.10:9090 http://127.0.0.1:9090 RootUser: minioadmin RootPass: minioadmin Command-line: https://docs.min.io/docs/minio-client-quickstart-guide $ mc alias set myminio http://192.0.2.10:9000 minioadmin minioadmin Documentation: https://docs.min.io WARNING: Detected default credentials 'minioadmin:minioadmin', we recommend that you change these values with 'MINIO_ROOT_USER' and 'MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD' environment variables. #. Connect your Browser to the MinIO Server Access the :ref:`minio-console` by going to a browser (such as Safari) and going to ``https://127.0.0.1:9000`` or one of the Console addresses specified in the :mc:`minio server` command's output. For example, :guilabel:`Console: http://192.0.2.10:9090 http://127.0.0.1:9090` in the example output indicates two possible addresses to use for connecting to the Console. While port ``9000`` is used for connecting to the API, MinIO automatically redirects browser access to the MinIO Console. Log in to the Console with the ``RootUser`` and ``RootPass`` user credentials displayed in the output. These default to ``minioadmin | minioadmin``. .. image:: /images/minio-console/console-login.png :width: 600px :alt: MinIO Console displaying login screen :align: center You can use the MinIO Console for general administration tasks like Identity and Access Management, Metrics and Log Monitoring, or Server Configuration. Each MinIO server includes its own embedded MinIO Console. .. image:: /images/minio-console/minio-console.png :width: 600px :alt: MinIO Console displaying bucket start screen :align: center For more information, see the :ref:`minio-console` documentation. #. `(Optional)` Install the MinIO Client The :ref:`MinIO Client ` allows you to work with your MinIO volume from the commandline. .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: Homebrew Run the following commands to install the latest stable MinIO Client package using `Homebrew `_. .. code-block:: shell :class: copyable brew install minio/stable/mc To use the command, run .. code-block:: mc {command} {flag} .. tab-item:: Binary (arm64) Download the standalone MinIO server for MacOS and make it executable. .. code-block:: shell :class: copyable curl -O https://dl.min.io/client/mc/release/darwin-arm64/mc chmod +x mc sudo mv mc /usr/local/bin/mc To use the command, run .. code-block:: shell mc {command} {flag} .. tab-item:: Binary (amd64) Download the standalone MinIO server for MacOS and make it executable. .. code-block:: shell :class: copyable curl -O https://dl.min.io/client/mc/release/darwin-amd64/mc chmod +x mc sudo mv mc /usr/local/bin/mc To use the command, run .. code-block:: shell mc {command} {flag} Use :mc-cmd:`mc alias set` to quickly authenticate and connect to the MinIO deployment. .. code-block:: shell :class: copyable mc alias set local http://127.0.0.1:9000 minioadmin minioadmin mc admin info local The :mc-cmd:`mc alias set` takes four arguments: - The name of the alias - The hostname or IP address and port of the MinIO server - The Access Key for a MinIO :ref:`user ` - The Secret Key for a MinIO :ref:`user ` For additional details about this command, see :ref:`alias`.
