title: macOS setup guide
---
## Use-case
This is useful if you intend to run a registry server natively on macOS.
### Alternatives
You can start a VM on macOS, and deploy your registry normally as a container using Docker inside that VM.
### Solution
Using the method described here, you install and compile your own from the git repository and run it as an macOS agent.
### Gotchas
Production services operation on macOS is out of scope of this document. Be sure you understand well these aspects before considering going to production with this.
## Setup golang on your machine
If you know, safely skip to the next section.
If you don't, the TLDR is:
bash < <(curl -s -S -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moovweb/gvm/master/binscripts/gvm-installer)
source ~/.gvm/scripts/gvm
gvm install go1.4.2
gvm use go1.4.2
If you want to understand, you should read [How to Write Go Code](https://golang.org/doc/code.html).
## Checkout the source tree
mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/distribution
git clone https://github.com/distribution/distribution.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/distribution/distribution
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/distribution/distribution
## Build the binary
GOPATH=$(PWD)/Godeps/_workspace:$GOPATH make binaries
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/libexec
sudo cp bin/registry /usr/local/libexec/registry
## Setup
Copy the registry configuration file in place:
mkdir /Users/Shared/Registry
cp docs/osx/config.yml /Users/Shared/Registry/config.yml
## Run the registry under launchd
Copy the registry plist into place:
plutil -lint docs/recipes/osx/com.docker.registry.plist
cp docs/recipes/osx/com.docker.registry.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
chmod 644 ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.docker.registry.plist
Start the registry:
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.docker.registry.plist
### Restart the registry service
launchctl stop com.docker.registry
launchctl start com.docker.registry
### Unload the registry service
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.docker.registry.plist
