Installation

Setting up a macOS device as an Orb sensor can be done thanks to Homebrew with a single command:

brew install orbforge/orb/orb

If you don't have Homebrew installed, visit the Homebrew site for up-to-date installation instructions. If you would prefer to run the Orb macOS app instead, view our macOS installation guide.

Usage

brew services start orbforge/orb/orb

If you don't want/need a background service or would likse to use other CLI functions, you can run:

/opt/homebrew/opt/orb/bin/orb help

for a list of available commands.
