Tested on MacOs Ventura and Sonoma on Intel (x86_64) and Apple Silicon (arm64) macs.

### Clone dogecoin locally, or check it out, etc. ###

```sh
git clone https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin.git

```

Make sure frameworks dir is properly owned...

```sh
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/Frameworks
sudo chown $(whoami):admin /usr/local/Frameworks

```sh
git clone https://github.com/Homebrew/brew homebrew
eval "$(homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
brew update --force --quiet
chmod -R go-w "$(brew --prefix)/share/zsh"
```

Install dependencies via Brew.

```sh
brew install autoconf automake libtool miniupnpc openssl pkg-config protobuf \
             qt5 zeromq qrencode librsvg boost berkeley-db@5 libevent
```

### Go back to your Dogecoin repo ###
