HyperKit Homebrew (homebrew-hyperkit)

Install HyperKit, a MacOS hypervisor built on top of the Hypervisor.Framework, with a simple brew command.

Installation

Run the following in your command-line:

prompt> brew tap markeissler/hyperkit

Once the tap has been installed, you can proceed with hyperkit installation by running the following command:

prompt> brew install hyperkit

That's all there is to it. In most cases, a hyperkit binary will be installed from a pre-compiled binary specific for your platform. With a prepared development environment you can also build the current stable or HEAD releases locally. Refer to the Building HyperKit section below for instructions.

Usage

Determing the Installed HyperKit Version

HyperKit uses a versioning scheme based on the date of the release milestone. For this standalone version the specific git commit hash is also provided in parantheses to avoid abiguity in the case that a release is tagged multiple times with the same date.

prompt> hyperkit -v
hyperkit: v0.20170425 (a9c368b)

Homepage: https://github.com/docker/hyperkit
License: BSD

There are two parts to the version number:

Building HyperKit

To build hyperkit locally you will need to make sure you have development dependencies install (either a full Xcode development environment or at least the command line tools).

Build stable:

prompt> brew install --build-from-source hyperkit

Build HEAD:

prompt> brew install --HEAD hyperkit

Beware that building HEAD may result in a non-functional install since it consists of the latest code contributions from the hyperkit team.

Testing

The hyperkit installation can be be tested by running the following command after installation:

prompt> brew test -vd hyperkit

This test will download a Tiny Core Linux kernel and init ram disk image that have been prepared specifically for use with hyperkit. With the above command you will see verbose output during the test which will start an instance of tinycorelinux and wait for the terminal prompt to appear. If the prompt appears before the test times out, then the instance will be shutdown (you will see a shutdown command issued) and the test will be deemed a success.

It's important to note that all of this will happen quickly.

Uninstallation

To remove hyperkit from your system run the following commands:

prompt> brew uninstall hyperkit
prompt> brew untap markeissler/hyperkit

Tap instead of a regular Homebrew formula

When you use the brew tap command it means you are searching for formulas that are stored in other repositories, that is, outside of the main Homebrew repository. This formula is currently maintained in its own Tap due to the greater level of flexibility it affords the maintainers with regard to ongoing development, testing, future automation of builds.

Bugs and such
