How to Install RhodeCode on macOS

RhodeCode is a powerful centralized source code management platform that allows developers to easily manage and collaborate on their code projects. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing RhodeCode on your macOS device.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A macOS device with administrative privileges
• A stable internet connection

Step 1: Install Homebrew

Homebrew is a package management system for macOS that makes it easy to install and manage software packages. If you don't already have it installed, follow these steps to install Homebrew on your macOS device:

1. Open Terminal on your macOS device.

2. Install the Homebrew using the following command:

   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
   

3. Enter your password if prompted to authenticate the installation.

4. Wait for the Homebrew installation to complete.

Step 2: Install RhodeCode

Now that we have Homebrew installed, we can use it to install RhodeCode. Follow these steps:

1. In Terminal, run the following command to add the RhodeCode repository to your macOS device:

   brew tap rhodecode/rhodecode
   

2. Once the tap is installed, run the following command to install RhodeCode:

   brew install rhodecode-ce
   

3. Wait for the installation to complete. This may take a few minutes.

Step 3: Start RhodeCode

Now that RhodeCode is installed, we can start it up. Follow these steps:

1. In Terminal, run the following command to start the RhodeCode server:

   rhodecode-ce start
   

2. Wait for RhodeCode to start up. Once it's running, you should see a message indicating that the server has started:

   Successfully started RhodeCode CE 4.25.2
   

3. Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:5000 to access the RhodeCode web interface.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to create a new user account and set up your first repository.
