# Homebrew (macOS)

## Migration

To use all your existing files within a brewed LRR, you can issue the following commands:

```bash
lrr="${HOME}/Library/Application Support/LANraragi/"
# if you’re on Linux, use the next line instead:
#lrr="${HOME}/LANraragi/"
cd <LRR folder>
mkdir -p "${lrr}"
mv content "${lrr}/content"
mv log "${lrr}/log"
mv temp "${lrr}/temp"
mv database.rdb "${lrr}/database/database.rdb"
```

{% hint style="info" %}
This simply moves all your files to the default location where LRR looks for them when installed with Homebrew. You can do that manually too, if you chose so.
{% endhint %}

If you succeeded in moving, you can proceed to the next step!

## Installation

If you do not have Homebrew installed yet, simply use the command on [their page](https://brew.sh).

The next step is to then install LRR.

```
brew install lanraragi
```

## Configuration

Your content folder is stored by default in `${HOME}/Library/Application Support/LANraragi`. (`${HOME}/LANraragi/content` on Linux.)\
The Redis database is stored in `${HOME}/Library/Application Support/LANraragi/database`. (`${HOME}/LANraragi/database` on Linux.)\
While the in-app settings page won't allow you to change the location of the content folder, you can do so by overriding the `LRR_DATA_DIRECTORY` environment variable before launching.

## Usage

Once installed, you can get started by running `lanraragi` and opening <http://localhost:3000>.

To change the default port or add SSL support, see this page:

{% content-ref url="/pages/-LX\_GDU2MU1sUAJyKkUV" %}
[Network Interface Setup](/lanraragi/advanced-usage/network-interfaces.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% hint style="info" %}
By default, LRR listens on all IPv4 Interfaces on port 3000, unsecured HTTP.
{% endhint %}

## Updating

Simply run `brew install lanraragi --HEAD` again to update to the latest version.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The same warning as in the Installation step applies.
{% endhint %}

## Uninstallation

Run `brew remove lanraragi` to uninstall the app.\
Data in the `${HOME}/Library/Application Support/LANraragi`/`${HOME}/LANraragi/` folder is not deleted.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://sugoi.gitbook.io/lanraragi/installing-lanraragi/macos.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
