BITCOIN CORE GUIDE [MACBOOK USER EDITION]

[joeatang]

Requesting an ord x bitcoin core user guide. From this basic research ive done for 2 weeks, it seems as if Macbook users do not get 'bitcoind' or bitcoin-cli'

I'm not that techy so ive been stuck on these steps for a couple of weeks trying a bunch of different options from chatgpt and other get hub forums. non seem to be a solution because im still here. This would be greatly appreciated!

I think a simple mac guide would be great. In particular, bitcoin can be installed with brew install bitcoin and run with brew services start bitcoin. If we can get ord to homebrew, so users can brew install ord, that would be a huge win.

HI Casey! Congrats on the journey so far bro. Been here since the beginning. Im a mac user thats now struggling to run ord on my macbook pro:

have repeatedly received this error message (mac book oro user and have tried to set up core the normal way and using @ets guide)

Error Message from Debug.Log:
ERROR: ReadBlockFromDisk: Errors in block header at FlatFilePos(nFile=19, nPos=4590870)

What ive tried:
I basically factory reset my mac and have a new SSD 1TB , yet this error message continue to pop up. Im stumped and need a smater person to help me figure this out!

If you can direct any of your resources/peeps my way this would be awesome

[casey]

This quite strange. It looks like a core error, as far as I can tell it's unrelated to ord, so I don't have any clever ideas for how to fix it.

Where can we get the macbook user guide. I run the bitcoin core and it's updated but I am stuck in the installations and sync of ord.
Please help, I am that techy too. Stuck since days

Yeah me too - Ord doesn't install with the command from Casey's docs "curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -fsLS https://ordinals.com/install.sh | bash -s"

[AdmiralOrange]

I am no dev - but proud finally running a full node on an iMAC. Now stuck in installations of Ord - in Terminal "curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -fsLS https://ordinals.com/install.sh | bash -s" works somehow and installs "Ord" in "Bin", but when I try "ord --version" Terminal says "command not found". So I guess Ord is not installed. Are there issues with iMAC? I realize installations mention Darwin - a development Apple stopped. Maybe this is the reason, or some shell-settings necessary or other petty little stuff or is there another way to install ORD on iMAC?

I am not sure if this is your problem but you can try

• add

export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin/ord"

• the this command

source ~/.zshrc

if you are using bash try .bash_profile
