 +====== Installing Crazyflie client with macPorts ======
  
 +This procedure has been tested on a just-installed Yosemite installation. Commands in code blocks have to be executed in a terminal window.
 +
 +===== Prerequisite =====
 +
 +Download and install macport installer from https://www.macports.org/install.php
 +
 +Install the command line developer tools:
 +
 +<code>
 +xcode-select --install
 +</code>
 +
 +I found that installing only the command line developer tools is enough for Crazyflie client dependencies. However installing Xcode seems to be recommended. I installed the command line developer tools:

 +{{:doc:crazyflie:host:mac:image00.png|}}
 +{{:doc:crazyflie:host:mac:image01.png|}}
 +
 +Update mac ports
 +
 +<code>
 +sudo port selfupdate
 +</code>
 +
 +Update already installed ports (none on a fresh installation)
 +
 +<code>
 +sudo port upgrade outdated
 +</code>
 +
 +===== Mandatory dependencies =====
 +Install Crazyflie client dependencies
 +
 +<code>
 +sudo port install libusb python27 py27-pyusb py27-SDL2 py27-pyqt4
 +</code>
 +
 +Most but not all packages are pre-compiled so this installation takes some time. It took about 12 minutes for me, YMMV.
 +
 +{{:doc:crazyflie:host:mac:image05.png|}}
 +
 +Now you are able to clone and run the Crazyflie client!
 +
 +<code>
 +cd Documents
 +git clone https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-clients-python
 +cd crazyflie-clients-python
 +/opt/local/bin/python2.7 bin/cfclient
 +</code>
 +
 +{{:doc:crazyflie:host:mac:image04.png|}}
 +
 +===== Optional dependencies =====
 +
 +If you want to use the plotter tab, to graph in real time Crazyflie log variables, you need to install pyqtgraph. It installs a lot of dependencies and took about 5 minutes (The ports install time varies a lot depending on how many ports are pre-compiled):
 +
 +<code>
 +sudo port install py27-pyqtgraph
 +</code>
 +
 +{{:doc:crazyflie:host:mac:image02.png|}}
 +
 +You can now access the plotter tab:
 +
 +<code>
 +/opt/local/bin/python2.7 bin/cfclient
 +</code>
