Build Instructions (macOS)
Follow the guidelines below for building Electron on macOS.
Prerequisites
Python
Please also ensure that your system and Python version support at least TLS 1.2. This depends on both your version of macOS and Python. For a quick test, run:
$ npx @electron/check-python-tls
If the script returns that your configuration is using an outdated security protocol, you can either update macOS to High Sierra or install a new version of Python 2.7.x. To upgrade Python, use Homebrew:
$ brew install python@2 && brew link python@2 --force
If you are using Python as provided by Homebrew, you also need to install the following Python modules:
You can use pip to install it:
$ pip install pyobjc
macOS SDK
If you're developing Electron and don't plan to redistribute your custom Electron build, you may skip this section.
Official Electron builds are built with Xcode 9.4.1, and the MacOS 10.13 SDK. Building with a newer SDK works too, but the releases currently use the 10.13 SDK.
