I’ll be setting up a fresh OS X 10.6 machine to be managed by Bcfg2.</p>

<h2>Get OS X 10.6 Running<a class="headerlink" href="#get-os-x-10-6-running" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Use your favorite provisioning method to get your operating system
running and fully patched.</p>
<p>For this hands on, I’m running OS X 10.6.8 (Build 10K540) with the
supplied python 2.6.1. I’ve also turned on Remote Login (i.e. ssh) so
I can use my client to write this document going through the steps;
having ssh on is not a requirement for this howto.</p>

<div class="section" id="get-bcfg2-package">
<h3>Get bcfg2 package<a class="headerlink" href="#get-bcfg2-package" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>You might be able to get a package already built for you, but it is
not hard to build it from the source. You’ll need git (via
<a class="reference external" href="https://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer">git-osx-installer</a> or
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew|homebrew">homebrew</a>; the former is
easier, the later more developer friendly) and Apple’s <a class="reference external" href="http://developer.apple.com/xcode/">XCode</a>.</p>
<p>The first step is to clone the bcfg2 repository into a working
directory:</p>
<p>At this point you will probably want to checkout a release tag (<cite>git
tag -l</cite> to see a list of them). This test is using v1.2.0pre4. Once
you’ve done that you can build the server.</p>
<p>The server package contains both the client and the server. The
package is located at <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">./osx/bcfg2-VERSION.pkg</span></tt>. Copy it to the machine
you want to set up from scratch and install it.</p>
<p>THIS NEEDS TO VERIFIED</p>
<p>Some of the differences between bcfg2 on Mac OS X and Debian is that
the libraries are stored at
<cite>/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/share/bcfg2/</cite>
<cite>/Library/Python/site-packages/Bcfg2/</cite> instead of
<cite>/usr/lib/pymodules/</cite> and <cite>/usr/share/pyshare/Bcfg2. Also, instead of
cron and init.d,
`/Library/LaunchDaemons/gov.anl.mcs.bcfg2-daily.plist</cite> controls
peridic runs and starts and stops. The runtime files are stored in
<cite>/usr/local/bin</cite> under Mac OS X instead of /usr/sbin/ for Debian.</p>
<p>VERIFY:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>10.6_client :~ user$ sudo /usr/local/bin/bcfg2-admin init
Failed to import lxml dependency. Shutting down server.</pre>
</div>
<p>Try: sudo easy_install lxml. If you don’t have gcc-4.2 installed,
you’ll need to install it on a machine that does. Then move
<cite>/Library/Python/2.6/sites-packages/lxml-2.3-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg</cite>
to the client and add the line
”./lxml-2.3-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg” to
<cite>/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/easy-install.pth</cite>.</p>
<p>Getting a new error:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ sudo /usr/local/bin/bcfg2-admin init
Interactively initialize a new repository.
bcfg2-admin init
$</pre>
</div>
<p>So what is lxml easy_install fully installing? Need to make a package
(Lettuce to the rescue!)</p>
