MonetDB Download Area for Mac OS X

For the current version of MonetDB on macOS, use the version hosted by Homebrew. Once you have installed Homebrew, you can just use the command

  brew install monetdb

If you are adventurous, you can compile from the source tar ball. Extract the tar, and follow the instructions in documentation/source/build.rst. Alternatively, you can build using the homebrew infrastructure, e.g.

  brew install --build-from-source monetdb

The archive directory contains old versions of MonetDB for macOS. They may or may not work.

Troubleshooting

Homebrew is designed to install software on your computer without the need of admin permissions, so no sudo. This can actually be an issue if you had a prior version of MonetDB built and installed manually using admin permission. As Homebrew will try to link the binaries in the /usr/bin directory, the installation might fail. If you encounter such an issue, carefully, manually remove the offending files, you won't be needing anyways, since you will be reinstalling MonetDB. Homebrew will be unable to do this for you since it runs underprivileged.
