🍎 Install with Brew

On macOS you can install the server with Homebrew instead of downloading a .pkg from GitHub Releases. The official tap provides a Cask that downloads the matching installer (Intel or Apple Silicon).

Install

brew tap myhomegames/tap
brew trust myhomegames/tap
brew install --cask myhomegames-server

Tap repository: github.com/myhomegames/homebrew-tap.

Untrusted tap (Homebrew 5.x+)

Third-party taps are not trusted by default. If install fails with an “untrusted tap” error, trust the tap once, then install again:

brew trust myhomegames/tap
brew install --cask myhomegames-server

Or trust only this cask:

brew trust --cask myhomegames/tap/myhomegames-server

Apple Silicon

Use native Homebrew under /opt/homebrew, not the Intel install under /usr/local, so the cask gets the arm64 .pkg. Check with brew config: HOMEBREW_PREFIX should be /opt/homebrew and macOS should show arm64.

Upgrade

brew update
brew upgrade --cask myhomegames-server

Uninstall

brew uninstall --cask myhomegames-server

Without Homebrew

Prefer the installer package instead? View all GitHub releases — use mac-arm64 on Apple Silicon and mac-x64 on Intel.
