Instructions on how to install Parity in Geth mode so you can use it’s blockchain with Ethereum Wallet / Mist on Mac since it never syncs without Parity in the background:
Step 1:
Open Terminal window by clicking search (top right corner magnifier) and type terminal.
Step 2:
Make sure you have an internet connection…
Once it loads you will need to install Homebrew so just copy and paste this command:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Step 3:
Once Homebrew is installed you need to install Parity with this command:
bash <(curl
https://get.parity.io -Lk)
It will need about 30mins on most computers so if you think it’s stuck it’s not…just let it finish.
If it fails to install then use this command:
brew install parity --beta --verbose
Step 4:
Once parity is installed use this command to start it in Geth mode:
parity --geth
It will start to Sync with the network and it will take hours to do that.
Step 4:
Open Ethereum Wallet and it will work with Parity blockchain and you will have a functioning wallet!
