How to Install Mesos on macOS

Mesos is a distributed systems kernel that abstracts compute resources away from machines and lets their use be pooled together. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to install Mesos on a macOS machine using homebrew package manager.

Step 1: Install Homebrew

If you haven't installed homebrew on your macOS machine, go to https://brew.sh/ and follow the instructions to install it.

Step 2: Install Mesos

Open Terminal on your macOS machine.
Run the following command to update homebrew:
```
brew update
```
Install Mesos by running the following command:
```
brew install mesos
```
Homebrew will install Mesos and its dependencies. The installation process may take several minutes to complete.

Step 3: Configure Mesos

Open the Mesos configuration file by running the following command:
```
vim /usr/local/etc/mesos/mesos-master-env.sh
```

Add the following two lines to the end of the file:

export MESOS_NATIVE_JAVA_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/libmesos.dylib
export MESOS_NATIVE_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/libmesos.dylib

Save and exit the file.

Step 4: Start Mesos

To start Mesos, run the following command:
```
mesos-master
```
Mesos will start and begin listening on port 5050.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Mesos on your macOS machine. You can now use Mesos to manage compute resources and run distributed applications.
