We will be compiling and installing all the packages into /usr/local
. You may want to verify if this folder already exists and its contents before proceeding. The folder /usr/local
does not exist on a fresh installation of Mac OS X.
Create the necessary folders — /usr/local
and /usr/local/src
.
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/src
Modify the ownership of /usr/local
and its children to make yourself the owner.
sudo chown -R $LOGNAME:staff /usr/local
