### macOS
The recommended way of installing Emacs on macOS is using [Homebrew][]. It's a
package manager for macOS. Once Homebrew is installed, run the following
commands in the terminal to install both Emacs and the default Source Code Pro

[EmacsWiki](https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsForMacOS#toc12) lists down a few ways to install Emacs for Mac OS. The recommended way is to use Homebrew, as mentioned in the Wiki.

Once Emacs is installed, run the following commands in the terminal to install the default Source Code Pro font:

```sh
brew tap d12frosted/emacs-plus
brew install emacs-plus
brew linkapps emacs-plus
brew tap caskroom/fonts
brew cask install font-source-code-pro
```

Finally, to install Spacemacs:

```
git clone https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs ~/.emacs.d
```

**Notes:**
The proposed `emacs-plus` tap is identical to the `emacs` formulae, it just
builds GNU Emacs with support for several features by default, including the
Spacemacs icon. See [emacs-plus][] for more information.
After completing the Spacemacs [install process](#install), then it's also
recommended to add the [osx layer][] to your [dotfile][]. Installation
instructions are available in the documentation for the [osx layer][].
