Using Chapel on Mac OS X

By and large, Chapel can be used on a Macintosh running OS X just like any other platform -- refer to the Chapel Quickstart Instructions for more information on building and using Chapel.

Homebrew

A minimal installation of Chapel can be obtained through Homebrew with the following command:

brew install chapel

Note

The Homebrew installation provides a minimal installation of Chapel for users to explore and test the language. Of the omitted features, multilocale support is most notable. Users interested in utilizing all of the language's rich features should clone the repository or download a release, and build Chapel from source.
