Lime Suite is a cross-platform software stack for the configuration and use of a range of software defined radio (SDR) platforms, including the LimeSDR family. The following instructions are for users of Apple's macOS operating system, and use the Pothos Homebrew tap.

Installing via Homebrew

The easiest way to install Lime Suite is via the Homebrew package management system. Begin by installing the Apple Xcode Command Line Tools by opening a terminal and typing the following command: 

xcode-select --install

Click "Install" in the dialogue that appears, then wait while the Xcode tools are downloaded and installed. When the process has completed, install Homebrew with the following command: 

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Finally, install Lime Suite by typing the following two commands: 

brew update
brew install limesuite

Uninstalling via Homebrew

To remove Lime Suite and its dependencies when installed via Homebrew, type the following command: 

brew uninstall limesuite

Next Steps

If you have installed Lime Suite to use a LimeSDR device, follow the instructions in Getting Started with the LimeSDR to install, configure, and test your hardware.
