Prerequisites

  1. Node.js: Ensure you have Node.js 20 or higher installed

    • Installation options include Homebrew or the official installer from nodejs.org

  2. Xcode Command Line Tools:

    • Required for compilers and build tools
    • Can be installed via xcode-select --install
    • Be sure to accept the Xcode EULA

Required Configuration Changes

  • Change in etc/config/compiler-explorer.defaults.properties the line objdumperType=default to objdumperType=llvm
