+Please note this article is intended for development, and eden on macOS is not currently ready for regular use.
+
+This article was written for developers. eden support for macOS is not ready for casual use.
+
+## Method I: ninja
+---
+If you are compiling on Intel Mac or are using a Rosetta Homebrew installation, you must replace all references of `/opt/homebrew` to `/usr/local`.
+
+Install dependencies from Homebrew:
+```sh
+brew install autoconf automake boost ccache ffmpeg fmt glslang hidapi libtool libusb lz4 ninja nlohmann-json openssl pkg-config qt@5 sdl2 speexdsp zlib zlib zstd cmake Catch2 molten-vk vulkan-loader
+```
+
+Clone the repo
+```sh
+git clone --recursive https://git.eden-emu.dev/eden-emu/eden
+
+cd eden
+```
+
+Build for release
+```sh
+mkdir build && cd build
+
+export Qt5_DIR="/opt/homebrew/opt/qt@5/lib/cmake"
+
+export LIBVULKAN_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib/libvulkan.dylib
+
+cmake .. -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DYUZU_USE_BUNDLED_VCPKG=OFF -DYUZU_TESTS=OFF -DENABLE_WEB_SERVICE=ON -DENABLE_LIBUSB=OFF -DCLANG_FORMAT=ON -DSDL2_DISABLE_INSTALL=ON -DSDL_ALTIVEC=ON
+
+ninja
+```
+
+You may also want to include support for Discord Rich Presence by adding `-DUSE_DISCORD_PRESENCE=ON` after `cmake ..`
+
+Build with debug symbols (vcpkg is not currently used due to broken boost-context library):
+```sh
+mkdir build && cd build
+export Qt5_DIR="/opt/homebrew/opt/qt@5/lib/cmake"
+cmake .. -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DYUZU_USE_BUNDLED_VCPKG=OFF -DYUZU_TESTS=OFF -DENABLE_WEB_SERVICE=OFF -DENABLE_LIBUSB=OFF
+ninja
+```
+
+Run the output:
+```
+bin/eden.app/Contents/MacOS/eden
+```
+

+To run with MoltenVK, install additional dependencies:

+```sh
+export LIBVULKAN_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib/libvulkan.dylib
