in this lesson. I'm gonna walk you through installing and map, and it's gooey Zen map on the Mac OS. Other than a test scan that ensures and map is working properly, we won't be running any scans just yet. But by the end of this lesson, you should have a fully functioning Mac and map scanning station.
00:18
Installing and map on the Mac OS is really simple, and there are a couple of ways to do it. In this lesson.
00:25
I'll walk you through my favorite way to do it. Using the Homebrew package manager.
00:30
Let's get started.
00:32
Here are the learning objectives for this lesson.
00:35
The main focus of this lesson is the lab, which will help you get and map installed on the Mac OS, which is pretty easy.
00:43
Prior to that, I just want to go over a couple of things regarding and maps origins in UNIX, which is what the current version of the Mac OS is based on.
00:51
Then we'll discuss finding, downloading and installing and map from the official and map website.
00:58
We'll move on to discuss using a package manager called Home Brew,
01:02
then finally will complete the lesson with a short lab on the actual installation of N Map on A Mac
01:10
in Theodore's and Matt book. He indicates that end map got its start in Lenox and UNIX based systems back in 1997.
01:17
Since the Mac OS has been based on UNIX since the introduction of OS X using Intel processors, you can be sure that end map not only runs on a Mac, but it runs very well.
01:27
Thean map website is and map dot org's and the download page is that and map dot org's quack download.
01:34
On that page, you'll find some quick and easy installation instructions of and map on a Mac.
01:40
The process described is similar to the installation of N map on a PC running Windows.
01:45
Our lab will walk through a different process, though, because I find this process a little clunky, and it makes the removal of that map a lot more difficult.
01:53
If you're running or plan to run and map on a Mac, I highly recommend taking a look at the max section of Theodore's book,
02:00
which I've included as the last bullet point in the slide.
02:05
If you get stuck and need to troubleshoot, you'll find what you need here.
02:10
As I mentioned in the learning Objective slide, we'll be using the Homebrew package manager to perform the installation of N map on the Mac OS.
02:20
However, if you don't want to install home brew and are more comfortable installing and map from a gooey instead of the command line, here's a good process to follow.
02:28
But go through the lab with me first before deciding which way you want to go.
02:32
It is your machine, and I want you to feel comfortable doing it the way you think is best
02:38
similar Toe rpm and D p k G for Lennox. The Mac OS has several options for package management.
02:46
One of my favorite package managers for Max is home brew,
02:49
according to their website, Home Brew is the missing package manager for Mac OS.
02:54
So what does it? D'oh
02:57
Well,
02:57
their website says that home brew installs the stuff you need that Apple didn't
03:01
it installs packages to their own directory and then Sim links their files into the whack us are wack local,
03:10
so why use it
03:13
to me? Its power comes in providing an easy interface for installing and removing software in dependencies located on a remote server from the command line.
03:23
It is an excellent compliment to the Mac OS and works with almost all the mainstream software repositories. Service's
03:30
If you want to read more about it before running through its installed with me,
03:35
go to Doc's dot brew that s age
03:38
or just give it a shot. I think you'll be glad you did.
03:42
Okay, so now on to the lab,
03:44
I think you'll find installing and map on the Mac OS extremely easy.
03:47
The process of installing it on a Mac is laid out for you in this slide.
03:52
After running a few commands and waiting for everything to install, we'll run a few simple scans using and map. And it's gooey Zen map to make sure everything works.
04:01
Let's get started.
04:03
Okay. Welcome to the lab on installing and map and Zen map on the Mac os.
04:11
So first of all, we're gonna install the homebrew package manager.
04:15
Just go to your terminal and open it up.
04:19
Make this bigger so you can see it.
04:27
Okay, Now, the first command is pretty long.
04:29
So you composite video. If you need to
04:32
take it down and
04:34
type of Dan
04:53
after you typed in that long command,
04:56
It tells you what it's gonna do and just simply hit, return or
05:00
enter
05:01
to continue.
05:04
Now it's gonna ask you for your password.
05:08
Just type it in,
05:14
then. Hit. Enter.
05:28
This might take a little bit of time. Just be patient.
05:40
Okay? Now that home brew is installed, we're gonna install w get
05:44
just that
05:46
through space installed
05:47
space. W get
05:50
space dash dash
05:53
with
05:54
dash
05:59
library SSL
06:00
and hit.
06:03
All right, now that that's done, just type brew
06:06
Space update.
06:15
Right now, I'm just gonna clear the screen toe, make it a little bit easier to see
06:23
right now. We're going onto the
06:25
installed and map and said,
06:28
Now, we'll just tie brew space, install
06:32
space and matter.
06:40
This will go through the process of installing and Matt.
06:48
All right, they went pretty fast, but it's done.
06:53
Now I'm gonna clear the screen again.
06:57
Now we're gonna install the Zen map gooey interface for Matt
07:01
Did install. It will take a brute
07:03
space
07:05
cask
07:06
space installed
07:09
space
07:11
Zen man,
07:26
if it asked you for your password, just type it in.
07:32
It entered a return.
07:39
Okay, I'm gonna clear the screen again.
07:45
All right. So now that we have in map pins and map installed,
07:48
we want to do a little scan to make sure that they're working so well. Do
07:54
and Matt Space
07:57
scan me
07:59
dot and matt dot or ge.
08:01
All right, If you see these results on your screen or something similar, then you know that and map is functioning on your computer.
08:11
I'll go and close this terminal window.
08:16
And now on your Mac, just go to your launcher
08:18
launchpad.
08:22
And right there, you could see that Zen map also is installed.
08:26
I'll open that up
08:28
once your password again.
08:35
That pretty much tells you that it is
08:39
running as a privilege user.
08:43
Okay, so up in the upper left hand corner, you see where it says target
08:48
again. We're gonna use the standard scan me
08:52
that in math dot org's
08:58
what you dislike it. That target over to the right next to profile. It says intense scan. We don't wanna do that scan. It takes a little bit too much time.
09:05
So put the drop down,
09:09
go down to regular scan,
09:13
then simply click scan over there in the
09:16
upper right hand corner of your window.
09:22
Okay, we have the results. If you see results similar to these, then you know that Zen map and and map are both functioning together and working properly.
09:33
And that's pretty much it.
09:35
We're done with this lab. Thanks a lot for watching.
09:39
The purpose of this lesson was to download and install and map on the Mac OS.
09:45
We talked about the origins of and map, and it's used on Max. I provided you with some civil instructions on how to install and map ends and Matt directly from the official and med website.
09:56
I discussed the use of home brew package manager. Then I walked you through a lab on the installation of an map, pins and map using homebrew on a Mac.
10:05
You're Max should be ready to go for the rest of this course.
10:09
Thank you so much for watching and I'll talk to you on the next video
