how to run mailhog on mac os

[augustinex80]

I downloaded MailHog_darwin_amd64 and MailHog_darwin_386. they both have no expanded-name. How can I run Mailbog.

Thank you.

@augustinex80 One of the easiest way to run mailhog on MacOS is to use mailhog formula for Homebrew.

Run brew update && brew install mailhog and you're done. If you require additional help with setting up mailhog with Homebrew, check out this page.

That answer should really be on the main page! Completely non-obvious if you're coming into this for the first time.

docker？ sorry, I asked a simple question. If docker is the right way. I will follow the docker's document. thank you! @maijs @iamwithnail

@augustinex80 not sure what you mean by no expanded-name, but the binaries on the release page should work on Mac OS (I've tested on 10.11.4)

@iamwithnail I've added the homebrew command to the readme 👍

There's not really a right way - the binaries, docker and homebrew should all hopefully work.

FYI, the state of Mailhog's inclusion in Homebrew is in question

This should be also added to the main-page of mailhog:

Open http://127.0.0.1:8025 and start using. (Give it couple of seconds to boot.)

or

Usage
There are couple of ways to start MailHog:

Run brew services start mailhog if you have homebrew-services tap installed.
Run $(brew --prefix)/bin/MailHog & if you want to start it manually.

I think this is exactly what is missing! thanks!
