Install brew and a few more packages:
$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
$ brew install libiconv (mine was https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/libiconv-1.15.high_sierra.bottle.tar.gz)
$ pip install ida-settings idalink
Confirm that LLVM and command line tools have been installed:
$ gcc --version
$ xcode-select --install
Confirm that SDK has been installed
$ xcrun --sdk macosx --show-sdk-path
Install IDA Pro
Download IDA Pro from the links you received in your email after purchasing IDA Pro.
Double click .app file to install IDA Pro and follow the onscreen instructions; installation path on MacOSX (/Applications/IDA Pro 7.0/ida.app)
Install BinDiff
Download and install BinDiff from https://www.zynamics.com/software.html
Prepare IDA SDK
We use IDA SDK in order to write/compile:
– processor modules
– input file loader modules
– plugin modules
$ cd ~/Documents
$ unzip idasdk70.zip
$ cp /Applications/IDA\ Pro\ 7.0/ida.app/Contents/MacOS/libida.dylibc ~/Documents/idasdk70/lib/x86_mac_gcc_32/
$ cp /Applications/IDA\ Pro\ 7.0/ida.app/Contents/MacOS/libida64.dylib ~/Documents/idasdk70/lib/x64_mac_gcc_64/
(old libida64.dylib was 109344 bytes, new copied file is 6097712 bytes)
$ ls -al ~/Documents/idasdk70/lib/x86_mac_gcc_32
$ ls -al ~/Documents/idasdk70/lib/x64_mac_gcc_64
//you will notice that libiconv.2.2.0.dylib already exists for both architectures
$ locate libiconv
$ cp /usr/lib/libiconv.2.4.0.dylib ~/Documents/idasdk70/lib/x86_mac_gcc_32/libiconv.2.2.0.dylib
$ cp /usr/lib/libiconv.2.4.0.dylib ~/Documents/idasdk70/lib/x64_mac_gcc_64/libiconv.2.2.0.dylib
(old libiconv.2.2.0.dylib was 11144 bytes, new copied file is 2104288 bytes)

MacOSX Version Support

Compiling IDA SDK Shipped Plugins
$ cd ~/Documents/idasdk70
$ export __MAC__=1
$ ./bin/idamake.pl
$ cd ~/Documents/idasdk70
$ export __EA64__=0
$ make
$ cd ~/Documents/idasdk70/bin/plugins
All the compiled x64 plugins must have been created and stored in that folder
Copy your compiled plugins to the plugins folder (if they are not already there)
/Applications/IDA\ Pro\ 7.0/ida.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins
Hex-Rays Decompiler Plugins Installation
Extract your purchased decompilers’ plugins (eg x64_hexarmm.zip and x64_hexx86m.zip)
$ cp x64_hexarmm/hexarm.dylib /Applications/IDA\ Pro\ 7.0/ida.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins/.
$ cp x64_hexx86m/hexrays.dylib /Applications/IDA\ Pro\ 7.0/ida.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins/.
$ cp x64_hexx86m/hexrays.cfg /Applications/IDA\ Pro\ 7.0/ida.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins/.
In IDA open a file of the architecture that you previously installed the decompiler for, then in IDAView-A select a code block and Fn+F5 (on Mac, or just F5 on Windows/Linux); you should see the decompiled output of the selected snippet in a new window.
TILIB Installation (utility to create type libraries for IDA)
$ unzip tilib70.zip
$ cp tilib70/mac/* /Applications/IDA\ Pro\ 7.0/ida.app/Contents/MacOS/.
User parselib to generate pattern files and sigmake to create the signature files (using the pattern files as input).
$ cd /Applications/IDA Pro 7.0/ida.app/Contents/MacOS]
$ ./plb
$ ./sigmake
FLAIR (Fast Library Identification and Recognition Technology) Installation
$ unzip flair70.zip
$ cp flair70/bin/mac/* /Applications/IDA\ Pro\ 7.0/ida.app/Contents/MacOS/.
Happy RE!
