Note: macOS support for the full range of functionality offered by the SDK is not yet complete. If you need support for R200 or the ZR300, legacy librealsense offers a subset of SDK functionality.
Note: The T265 tracking module is not yet fully supported on macOS via librealsense. Support is planned to be added in a future release.
- Install CommantLineTools
sudo xcode-select
or download XCode 6.0+ via the AppStore - Install the Homebrew package manager via terminal - link
- Install the following packages via brew:
brew install cmake libusb pkg-config
brew cask install vulkan-sdk
Note librealsense requires CMake version 3.8+ that can also be obtained via the official CMake site.

sudo xcode-select --reset
cmake .. -G Xcode -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=true -DBUILD_WITH_OPENMP=false -DHWM_OVER_XU=false

Note: On some Mac systems you might encounter
ld: library not found for -lusb-1.0
error (either in the terminal during make or in XCode) This can be worked-around by setting environment variable:/bin/launchctl setenv LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib
Note: You can find more information about the available configuration options on this wiki page.
- librealsense requires libusb to be bundled in the application. To fix the real-time linking, use
install_name_tool
install_name_tool -change /usr/local/opt/libusb/lib/libusb-1.0.0.dylib @rpath/libusb-1.0.0.dylib librealsense2.dylib
- Copy
libusb-1.0.0.dylib
