# Installing Manticore on MacOS

### Quick install

```bash
curl https://manticoresearch.com | sh
```

## Manually via Homebrew package manager

```bash
brew install manticoresoftware/tap/manticoresearch manticoresoftware/tap/manticore-extra
```

Start Manticore as a brew service:

```bash
brew services start manticoresearch
```

The default configuration file for Manticore is located at either `/usr/local/etc/manticoresearch/manticore.conf` or `/opt/homebrew/etc/manticoresearch/manticore.conf`.

If you plan to use [indexer](../Creating_a_table/Local_tables/Plain_table.md) to fetch data from sources such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, or another database using ODBC, you may need additional libraries, such as `mysql@5.7`, `libpq`, and `unixodbc`, respectively.

#### Development packages
If you prefer "Nightly" (development) versions do:
```bash
brew tap manticoresoftware/tap-dev
brew install manticoresoftware/tap-dev/manticore-dev
brew services start manticore-dev
```
