= OS X installation

Here is explained how to download, compile and use ACADO toolkit with [http://www.cmake.org CMake] build system in OS X. 

~~~
{MATLAB installation}
The instructions below are for building of the C\+\+ library. If you are looking for the instructions on how to install and use the MATLAB interface, please /[matlab_overview.html click here]/.
~~~

== Prerequisites

One way to install necessary tools is via a package manager called Macports. Please read this [http://www.macports.org/install.php webpage] (under "Mac OS X Package (.pkg) Installer") to find out how to install MacPorts. After you install MacPorts, you can install those packages by typing the following command in a terminal (you will need root privileges):
~~~
{}{}
sudo port install gcc47 cmake git-core gnuplot doxygen graphviz
~~~
Afterwards, select C and C\+\+ compilers:
~~~
{}{}
sudo port select --set gcc mp-gcc47
~~~
~~~
{NOTE}
Gnuplot and Doxygen are optional. ACADO can work without Gnuplot and\/or Doxygen, but in this case you will not be able to visualize results and\/or generate API documentation.
