	Quickstart: MinIO for Mac OSX
minio
This procedure deploys a Single-Node Single-Drive <minio-installation-comparison>
MinIO server onto MacOS for early development and evaluation of MinIO
Object Storage and its S3-compatible API layer.
For instructions on deploying to production environments, see 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 
- Launch the MinIO Server 
- Connect your Browser to the MinIO Server - Access the - minio-consoleby going to a browser (such as Safari) and going to- https://127.0.0.1:9000or one of the Console addresses specified in the- minio servercommand's output. For example,- Console: http://192.0.2.10:9001 http://127.0.0.1:9001in the example output indicates two possible addresses to use for connecting to the Console.- While port - 9000is used for connecting to the API, MinIO automatically redirects browser access to the MinIO Console.- Log in to the Console with the - RootUserand- RootPassuser credentials displayed in the output. These default to- minioadmin | minioadmin.- 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. - For more information, see the - minio-consoledocumentation.
