Installation

Mac

I currently use a Macbook Air (13-inch, Early 2015) and the system version is macOS Sierra 10.12.5.

1. Grab plan9port source code from github.

git clone https://github.com/9fans/plan9port.git /usr/local/plan9

I put it at /usr/local/ because the manual says it is the convention. Alternatively, you can install plan9port via hombrew:

brew install plan9port

2. Compile and install

plan9port provides a script to compile and install binaries.

cd /usr/local/plan9
./INSTALL

And you wait. After the compile is finished, there will be an instruction on the screen to show how to config environment variables. I add the following to the .profile:

PLAN9=/usr/local/plan9
PATH=$PATH:$PLAN9/bin

3. Install FUSE

The 9p protocol needs FUSE to regeister stuff into the *nix file system. You can get the .pkg from the osxfuse homepage or via homebrew:

brew cask install osxfuse

Then you should find a new entry in the System Preferences:

FUSE

Note that FUSE is not required to run acme. However, if you want to mount acme or plumber into your file system, you will need it.

4. Launch Acme

Now you should be able to run Acme from the command line:

acme
