You may quit Xcode after it has finished loading. Clone the HandBrake repository. git clone https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake.git && cd HandBrake You may build and install the additional dependencies using the included script. Feel free to choose a different output path, if desired. scripts/mac-toolchain-build /usr/local This process will take a few minutes. If necessary, the script will provide you with instructions for adding the resulting binaries location to your environment's `PATH`[^default-path]. Do this now. Build HandBrake. ./configure --launch-jobs=$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu 2>/dev/null) --launch When complete, you will find `HandBrake.app` and `HandBrakeCLI` in the `build/xroot` directory. [^default-path]: `/usr/local` is included in the system's `PATH` by default.
