### Install the required dependencies
### Install build dependencies
Open a Terminal:
To install the actual build dependencies, there are two options:
1. Via Homebrew (faster, but suitable only for local builds).
2. Via vcpkg (much slower, but suitable for distribution builds).
#### Option 1: Install build dependencies via Homebrew
Open a terminal and run:
```
brew installqt@5 argon2 botan qrencode asciidoctor readline minizip
```
#### Option 2: Install build dependencies via vcpkg
Install vcpkg and pkg-config via Homebrew:
```
brew install vcpkg pkg-config
```
Next, update the vcpkg port files:
```
cd /opt/vcpkg && git pull
```
Finally, compile and install the actual build dependencies:
```
vcpkg install argon2 botan minizip qt5 qt5-svg qt5-tools qt5-imageformats \
qt5-translations readline zlib libqrencode
```
### Update your environment regularly
Open a Terminal:
Homebrew:
```
brew update && brew upgrade
```
vcpkg:
```
cd /opt/vcpkg && git pull
vcpkg update
```
