Building the DMT executable file on macOS

You can build Dash Masternode Tool for macOS by opening the Terminal app and running the following commands:

  • Install Homebrew:

    curl -fsSL -o install.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh
/bin/bash install.sh

    Installation takes about 5 minutes to complete.

  • Install libusb

    brew install libusb

  • Install Python 3:

    brew install python3

  • After the installation process completes, make sure that the Python version installed is 3.6 or newer. DMT won't compile on older versions of Python, or even older versions of Python 3:

    python3 --version

    You should see a response similar to the following: Python 3.8.x, where x means the latest build number.

  • Create a Python virtual environment for DMT:

    mkdir ~/dmt-build
cd ~/dmt-build
python3 -m venv venv-dmt

  • Activate the newly created virtual environment:

    source venv-dmt/bin/activate

  • Download DMT sources from GitHub:

    git clone https://github.com/Bertrand256/dash-masternode-tool

    Note. At this point, you may be asked to install commandline developer tools, if you don't already have them on the computer. By clicking you will only install the toolset you need, but you can also install the entire XCode environment ( button) if you intend to use GUI development tools in the future.

  • Install the requirements:

    cd dash-masternode-tool
pip install -r requirements.txt

  • Build the executable:

    pyinstaller --distpath=../dmt-dist/dist/mac --workpath=../dmt-dist/build/mac dash_masternode_tool.spec

Once the build has completed successfully, a compressed macOS executable file will be created in the ~/projects/dist/all directory. An uncompressed app package (DashMasternodeTool.app) can be found in the ~/projects/dist/mac directory.
