# OpenIM （Open-Source Instant Messaging） Mac Deployment Guide

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for deploying OpenIM on a Mac, including both source code and Docker deployment methods.

Preliminary Environment Setup

Ensure a clean working environment:

1. Create a New Directory: Start in a new directory to prevent conflicts.

2. Check for Conflicting Processes: Run these commands:

3. ps -ef | grep openim
   

4. ps -ef | grep chat
   

5. Check Docker Containers: Use docker ps to confirm no related containers are running.

Source Code Deployment

Deploying openim-server

Deploying from source requires adjusting Docker's network configurations for Mac.

1. Clone and Prepare the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/openimsdk/open-im-server   cd open-im-server   export OPENIM_IP="[Your External/Internal IP]"   make init

2. Configure Kafka in docker-compose.yml:

3. Replace:

     - KAFKA_CFG_ADVERTISED_LISTENERS=PLAINTEXT://kafka:9092,EXTERNAL://${DOCKER_BRIDGE_GATEWAY:-172.28.0.1}:${KAFKA_PORT:-19094}

• With:

     - KAFKA_CFG_ADVERTISED_LISTENERS=PLAINTEXT://kafka:9092,EXTERNAL://127.0.0.1:${KAFKA_PORT:-19094}

3. Start the Service:

   docker compose up -d

4. Final Configurations:

   vim config/config.yaml -c "%s/172\.28\.0\.1/127.0.0.1/g" -c "wq"

5. Launch openim-server:

   make start

6. Verification:

   make check

Wait five minutes before checking to ensure accuracy.

Deploying openim-chat

Deploy openim-chat using source code or Docker.

1. Return to Parent Directory:

   cd ..

2. Deploy from Source:

   git clone https://github.com/openimsdk/chat   cd chat   make init

3. Set Up MySQL (if not already deployed):

   docker run -d \     --name mysql \     -p 13306:3306 \     -p 23306:33060 \     -v "$(pwd)/components/mysql/data:/var/lib/mysql" \     -v "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime" \     -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD="openIM123" \     --restart always \     mariadb:10.6

4. Configure openim-chat:Modify config/config.yaml, replacing 172.28.0.1 with 127.0.0.1.

5. Start openim-chat:

   make start

6. Verification:

   make check

7. Web Interface Access:Visit http://127.0.0.1:11001. For validation, see this guide.
