Mac OSX with Crazyflie

[MichaelD33]

So I've been looking around on info about Mac and Crazyflie and I can't find out how you would actully go about setting it up.
Does anyone know how I would get it to work?
Thanks

Hi, from my experience is 100x easier to setup the bitcraze virtual machine and then use it to operate the crazyflie. I tried to setup the host application with macport with no success, then with homebrew, I even tried bootcamp with windows 7 for a while, but to me, the best and easiest way, was to use the bitcraze VM in OSX.

I used Homebrew. Worked like a charm.

Hi kaffka,
I was wondering where you installed the bitcraze VM. Meaning the website that you got the VM.
Also, does the VM require python, pygame or mercurial etc to be installed?

Hi,
You can download the VM from the wiki: http://wiki.bitcraze.se/projects:virtualmachine:index
All it requires is VirtualBox. All the tools like python and git runs in the VM.
