Learn how to install on MacOS manually

By default, the program runs with free Community features. To use Carbone Enterprise Edition, you need a Carbone license. Contact us to learn more, or request a free 30-day trial in our chat.

You can use Carbone with Docker on your macOS machine. To get started, see Deploy with Docker.

This guide explains how to run the application directly on macOS.

Installation

  1. Download the Carbone On-premise binary for macOS from our changelog page.

  2. In your terminal, run chmod +x carbone-ee to make the binary executable.

  3. Authorize the binary execution:

    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine carbone-ee

  4. Install LibreOffice See instructions.

  5. Start the Carbone web server. You can pass options to Carbone On-Premise through the CLI:

    # By default, the program runs with free Community features.
export CARBONE_EE_LICENSE="xxxxxxx"

./carbone-ee webserver --studio -p 4000

  6. Open the browser at http://localhost:3000 to use the studio, or call the API directly.

Install LibreOffice

On macOS only, use an older version of LibreOffice (up to 25.2.4.1).
You can download it from this link. The LibreOffice team decided in this commit to block any process that starts an embedded Python instance from an external process (like Carbone).
An issue was created, and we are working to find a solution.

To install LibreOffice, follow the official documentation.
