TSIA. I found some tutorials, but it's way harder than the Windows method and I want something easy.

If you dont want to use your Mac OS with a tutorial, run a linux OS from USB drive and generate them with vanity gen or just boot up a virtual machine on virtualbox with windows and then generate the addresses there.

Everything. I'm not coder and I don't understand it, so it's really hard for me even with step-by-step tut. Let's say I'm asking for someones ready to use binary.. If you dont want to use your Mac OS with a tutorial, run a linux OS from USB drive and generate them with vanity gen or just boot up a virtual machine on virtualbox with windows and then generate the addresses there.
I'm installing Windows 10 through Paralells Desktop, hope it works on it.. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

By the way, there is a vanity address generator website. DO NOT USE THEM. I had over 3 BTC stolen because they apparently log the private keys. It is a scam. Make sure to use the software and generate your own.

I know.. I tried to generate it, but I found some threads about people being scammed by them ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Thanks for advice.

I won't use this scam. I'm asking how to generate custom address using vanitygen.

Let's say I'm asking for someones ready to use binary.. -snip- Can't you copy-paste those commands in terminal and click enter/return? Hope errors are not there. Which version of OS X are you using?

Changing order may cause problem because of unmet dependencies. I maybe able to help you with this via TeamViewer or similar but more secure software. For this, you will have to trust me because you are giving access to your computer to an unknown person(me).

Mine at Jonny's Pool

I have compiled and built the vanitygen code on OS X, and I use it (see the vanity BTC address in my profile... that was generated on my MBP using oclvanitygen).
Depending on what hardware you've got, you can either use the CPU version (vanitygen) or the GPU version (oclvanitygen). For example, I've got an nVidia GPU in my MBP, so I use oclvanitygen. Of course, this requires that I've also got the nVidia CUDA toolkit so it can compile the GPU-specific kernel...

Pretty sure a binary I create on my laptop won't work for you. Requirements around some libraries that aren't standard. I could certainly tell you how to compile and build it yourself if you want...

That should be good too, let's start ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I'm really glad there's someone who's helping! ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

That should be good too, let's start ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) OK... the first thing you'll need to do is get the command line tools installed on your mac. Open up a terminal window and type: This should start the process of getting you the tools you'll need. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FuxtwAcO.png&t=665&c=DrB3IIFdMZv_dw) Now that the command line tools are installed, you'll need some other libraries and packages that are not provided. I happen to like using homebrew for this. I used to use macports, but ran into some issues with their QT5 stuff. So, let's get homebrew. From that same terminal window: ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Now we use brew to install what we need: Once that's done, you'll need to obtain the vanitygen code from git. In the same terminal window: git clone https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen.git
Now, go into that directory: Build it: You'll see a ton of warnings, but at the end of it, you'll have your very own vanitygen that you can use...

Did you install home-brew? From the terminal window: ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Yes I did, even 3 times! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I got this back: ==> This script will install: /usr/local/bin/brew /usr/local/Library/... /usr/local/share/man/man1/brew.1 ==> The following directories will be made group writable: /usr/local/. /usr/local/bin /usr/local/share /usr/local/share/man /usr/local/share/man/man8 ==> The following directories will have their group set to admin: /usr/local/. /usr/local/bin /usr/local/share /usr/local/share/man /usr/local/share/man/man8
