macOS installation instructions

How to Install Moodifier Server on your Mac

1) Download the Moodifier Daemon application for macOS.

2) Move the Moodifier Daemon folder to where you would like to run it from.
The Moodifier Daemon application and supporting files are located in the Moodifier Daemon folder.

3) Open Terminal and execute the Moodifier Daemon application to run on port 8080 like this:
/path/to/your/MoodifierDaemonFolder/MoodifierDaemon --Port=8080

4) The Moodifier Server should now be running on port 8080 on your Mac.
Use a web browser to access the Moodifier Server on your Mac, browse to port 8080 on the ip address of your Mac (for example "http://127.0.0.1:8080/") or visit http://home.moodifier.net and you should be auto redirected to your Mac.

5) Once the Moodifier Server is running on your Mac you can enable HTTPS by generating a self signed cert from the web interface of the application. Once you have generated the self signed cert you can activate HTTPS on port 8433 in Terminal like this:
/path/to/your/MoodifierDaemonFolder/MoodifierDaemon --Port=8080 --SecurePort=8433 --certificate=/full/path/to/your/MoodifierDaemon.crt

Running Moodifier Server on ports below 1024 requires root privileges.

If you like to run the MoodifierDaemon on port 80 or 433 you need to start it from terminal as root like this:
sudo /path/to/your/MoodifierDaemonFolder/MoodifierDaemon --Port=80 --SecurePort=433 --certificate=/full/path/to/your/MoodifierDaemon.crt
