Update getting started to include MacOS

[Cmdv]

Adding more information in the "getting started" documentation to reflect what is present on https://developers.cardano.org/docs/get-started/installing-cardano-node/#macos

This looks good to me; and reminds me we have a an even less involved solution for on systems where nix is installed; which I should document better. For those that have nix installed or are ok to install it, and don't want to deal with brew or similar.

$ nix develop github:input-output-hk/devx#ghc8107 --refresh --no-write-lock-file

[cardano-node]$ # this one is only needed on macOS right now, due to a bug in loading libcrypto.
[cardano-node]$ export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(pkg-config --libs-only-L libcrypto|cut -c 3-) 
[cardano-node]$ # Ensure the hackage and CHaP indexes are up to date.
[cardano-node]$ cabal update

[cardano-node]$ cabal build cardano-cli cardano-node -j --ghc-options=-j

which works on intel, and apple silicon Macs, as well as linux, and WSL the same. (Takes about ~40min on a m2 air)

@angerman think I might have to give the nix version a go as I'm getting LLVM version recognition errors 😞

edit: I got passed that and then openSSL came to bit me.

Yea, that's why input-output-hk/devx now exists. We are working on a faster bootstrap, and might at some point even try to get something that works without nix installed. For now it requires nix to be installed first :-/

It's also supposed to work with almost any IOG project; same shell works every time 🤞

Interesting good to know 👍

This we won't need once we are on 9.2 🎉

@olgahryniuk @CarlosLopezDeLara, you ok with this? Can this be merged?

[angerman]

@Cmdv this will need to be rebased onto master to get the status checked green.

[Cmdv]

cool let me do that now 😄

[angerman]

@Cmdv you'll also need to sign all the commits

The base branch requires all commits to be signed. Learn more about signing commits.

[Cmdv]

grrrrr my emacs GPG has stopped working!! going to sign the previous commits manually!!

edit: ok got it sorry about that!!!

@newhoggy why doesn't this trigger any GHAs?

[newhoggy]

I believe it's because it is from a fork which doesn't run an actions for security reasons.

[newhoggy]

I triggered it manually.

[angerman]

I triggered it manually.

Don't we usually get some "this is from a fork, do you want to run the actions" button?
