= Installation Guidelines: Mac - Developer (Manual) =

== Install Apple Xcode Developer Tools ==
You will need [http://developer.apple.com/technologies/tools/ Apple's Xcode Developer Tools], found at the Apple Developer Connection site or in the [http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835 Mac App Store]. Using the latest available version that will run on your OS is highly recommended. 
=== Install Command Line Tools ===
The Xcode Command Line Tools need to be installed after Xcode has been installed. To install the Command Line Tools:
1. Open Xcode
2. Open Xcode -> Preferences, and select the Download tab.
3. Under the Components tab, click the Install button next to Command Line Tools. Note that this may require you to create a developer account with Apple to complete the download.

// If you do not see Command Line Tools under the Components tab you can run the command {{{xcode-select --install}}} in the terminal to preform the same operation. //

// Caution: The Xcode download is over 3GB. //

== Installation via Homebrew ==
If you aren't already using Homebrew, [https://brew.sh/ install it now].

=== GIS tools ===
For some GIS features of Eden (e.g. if you would rather use PostgreSQL with PostGIS instead of MySQL) you are required to install the [http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadingGdalBinaries GDAL framework]. [http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/ GEOS] is also required, and is a dependency of shapely.

{{{
brew install gdal geos
}}}

=== Python ===
It's probable that you already have Python 2.7.x installed but check with {{{python -V}}}.
If you don't, or want an OS-version-independent installation, install with Homebrew: {{{brew install python}}}.

The Homebrew version of Python also installs {{{pip}}} which you'll use for the following required Python packages:

{{{
pip install python-dateutil
pip install lxml
pip install shapely
pip install reportlab
pip install xlrd
pip install xlwt
pip install pyserial
pip install tweepy
pip install Pillow
}}}

=== PostgreSQL + PostGIS extensions ===

If you want to use PostgreSQL - PostGIS (for which you will need GDAL, above):
{{{
brew install postgresql postgis
}}}

=== Git ===

Check whether you already have git installed by:
{{{
which git
}}}
If not then 
{{{
brew install git
}}}
