Binary Installation on MacOS

Pre-built Ionic binaries (bottles) are available for macOS Sequoia on Apple Silicon (arm64) using the Homebrew package manager. On other macOS versions Homebrew builds the packages from source, which can take a long time.

After installing Homebrew, Gazebo Ionic can be installed running:

brew tap osrf/simulation
brew trust osrf/simulation
brew install gz-ionic

All libraries should be ready to use and the gz sim -s server app ready to be executed.

Head back to the Getting started page to start using Gazebo!

Uninstalling binary install

If you need to uninstall Gazebo or switch to a source-based install once you have already installed the library from binaries, run the following command:

brew uninstall gz-ionic
