Updog is a simple file server that allows you to easily share files and directories over the web. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to install Updog on your macOS machine.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, you'll need to make sure your macOS machine has the following:

Homebrew: A package manager for macOS. If you don't have it installed, you can install Homebrew by running the command below in your terminal:
```
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
```

Install Updog

Once you have Homebrew installed, you can install Updog by following the steps below:

Open your terminal by pressing command + space to open Spotlight, type "terminal", and hit Enter.
Install Updog using Homebrew by running the command below in your terminal:
```
brew install updog
```
This will download and install Updog as well as any required dependencies.
Verify that Updog is installed by running the command below:
```
updog -h
```
This should display the Updog help menu.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Updog on your macOS machine.

Usage

To use Updog, navigate to the directory you want to share using your terminal and run the command below:

updog

By default, Updog will use the current directory as the root directory of the server and will be accessible at http://localhost:9090/. You can customize the port and root directory using command line arguments. For example:

updog -p 8080 -r /path/to/directory

This will start Updog on port 8080 and serve files from the /path/to/directory directory.
