macOS

This guide describes the installation for macOS (10.12 and higher) using the Homebrew package manager.

Installation

Install
Section titled “Install”

Open a terminal window and install Homebrew, if it’s not already installed.
Terminal window
```
brew tap evcc-io/tap
brew update
brew install evcc
```
Start
Section titled “Start”
Terminal window
```
brew services start evcc
```
Set up
Section titled “Set up”

Open the evcc interface in your browser: http://localhost:7070. Set an administrator password and configure your devices directly via the web interface.

After the first start, you can configure evcc at http://localhost:7070. Settings are automatically saved in the database.

Alternatively, you can use an evcc.yaml configuration file at /etc/evcc.yaml. Details can be found in Configuration.

To upgrade to a new version of evcc, perform the following steps:

Check the status of the evcc server:
Terminal window
```
brew services info evcc
```
View logs:
Terminal window
```
tail -f /opt/homebrew/var/log/evcc.log
```

Here you’ll find instructions for manually installing evcc on macOS.

Download the appropriate file to your system:
- 64-bit ARM or Intel CPU: evcc_X.XX_macOS_all.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded file (e.g., by double-clicking the file)
There will now be a new folder with the evcc program
Open a terminal and navigate to the folder containing the evcc program
Start evcc with the following command:
Terminal window
```
./evcc -v
```
You should see the current version of evcc (e.g., evcc version 0.xxx.y).

After the first start, open http://localhost:7070 in your browser and configure evcc via the web interface.

Alternatively, you can create an evcc.yaml configuration file (see Configuration) and start evcc with it:

./evcc -c evcc.yaml

Follow the steps above and replace the evcc program file with the new or previous version. The configuration does not need to be redone.
