For macOS, there are no available binary packages, so OPM Flow needs to be built from source. Recently, a formula to build flow using brew has
been added in `https://github.com/cssr-tools/homebrew-opm <https://github.com/cssr-tools/homebrew-opm>`_.

Source build in macOS
+++++++++++++++++++++
If you would like to build the latest OPM Flow from the master branch, then you can first install the prerequisites using brew:

.. code-block:: console

brew install cjson boost openblas suite-sparse python@3.13 cmake

In addition, it is recommended to uprade and update your macOS to the latest available versions (the following steps have
worked for macOS Tahoe 26.2.0 with Apple clang version 17.0.0). After the prerequisites are installed, then building OPM Flow
can be achieved with the following bash lines:

.. code-block:: console

CURRENT_DIRECTORY="$PWD"

for module in common geometry grid istl
do git clone https://gitlab.dune-project.org/core/dune-$module.git
cd dune-$module && git checkout v2.10.0 && cd ..
./dune-common/bin/dunecontrol --only=dune-$module cmake -DCMAKE_DISABLE_FIND_PACKAGE_MPI=1
./dune-common/bin/dunecontrol --only=dune-$module make -j5
done

mkdir build

for repo in common grid simulators
do git clone https://github.com/OPM/opm-$repo.git
mkdir build/opm-$repo && cd build/opm-$repo
cmake -DUSE_MPI=0 -DWITH_NDEBUG=1 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$CURRENT_DIRECTORY/dune-common/build-cmake;$CURRENT_DIRECTORY/dune-grid/build-cmake;$CURRENT_DIRECTORY/dune-geometry/build-cmake;$CURRENT_DIRECTORY/dune-istl/build-cmake;$CURRENT_DIRECTORY/build/opm-common;$CURRENT_DIRECTORY/build/opm-grid" $CURRENT_DIRECTORY/opm-$repo
if [[ $repo == simulators ]]; then
make -j5 flow
else
make -j5 opm$repo
fi
cd ../..
done

echo "export PATH=\$PATH:$CURRENT_DIRECTORY/build/opm-simulators/bin" >> ~/.zprofile
source ~/.zprofile

This builds OPM Flow, and it exports the path to the flow executable.

See `this repository <https://github.com/daavid00/OPM-Flow_macOS>`_ dedicated to build OPM Flow from source in the latest macOS (GitHub actions), and tested with **pycopm**.
If you still face problems, raise an issue in the GitHub repository, or you could also send an email to the maintainers.
