# M1 Macs MoltenVK install
This guide is meant for Computer Graphics students that own ARM-based Macs.
This guide assumes that you will use the command line and a simple text editor (like nano, Neovim, VS Code...), not a fully-fledged IDE.
1. Follow the [tutorial](https://vulkan-tutorial.com/Development_environment#page_MacOS) provided in the PDF for the first assignment until the section "Setting up Xcode".
2. Go to the install folder of VulkanSDK (usually `~/VulkanSDK`), specifically to the path:
```bash
~/VulkanSDK/
```
3. Run the install script via this command:
```bash
sudo python3 install_vulkan.py
```
4. Edit your `.zshrc` and add the following line:
```bash
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users//VulkanSDK/1.3.275.0/macOS/lib
```
5. Download the script `vkcompile.sh` provided with this GitHub repository and save it somewhere you can remember
6. Add execution permissions to the script by running this command:
```bash
chmod +x vkcompile.sh
```
7. Alias that script in your `.zshrc` by adding the following line:
```bash
alias gvk="/path/to/vkcompile.sh"
```
8. Update your terminal configuration by running:
```bash
source ~/.zshrc
```
Now you should be able to compile `A01.cpp` by running `gvk A01.cpp` in your terminal in the directory that contains that file.
Please do let me know about any further problems by opening an issue here.
