For testing only. Requirements may change before release.
+There are three ways to run mSCP 2.0. Choose the method that works best for your environment.
+
+### Option 1: Python + Ruby
+
+Manual setup with virtual environment.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- Python >= 3.12.1 (3.14 is not supported)
+ - Recommended: [Macadmins Python](https://github.com/macadmins/python)
+- Ruby >= 3.4.4
+
-1. ### Clone the dev_2.0 Branch
+1. ### Clone the Repository
```bash
git clone -b dev_2.0 https://github.com/usnistgov/macos_security.git
cd macos_security
```
-2. ### Install Prerequisites
+2. ### Python Setup
- Requires Python 3.12.1 or higher.
-
- **Python packages (required):**
```bash
- pip3 install -r requirements.txt
- ```
+ # Create virtual environment
+ python3 -m venv .venv
+ source .venv/bin/activate
- **Ruby gems (optional — only needed for PDF output):**
- ```bash
- gem install asciidoctor asciidoctor-pdf rouge --user-install
+ # Install requirements
+ python3 -m pip install .
```
- **Want isolated installs?** Click to expand
+ **Having Python version issues?** Click to expand
- **Python virtual environment:**
+ **Check your Python version:**
+ ```bash
+ python3 --version
+ ```
+
+ **Check version inside the venv:**
```bash
- python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
- pip3 install -r requirements.txt
- deactivate # when done
+ python --version
+ ```
+
+ **List all installed Python versions:**
+ ```bash
+ ls /opt/homebrew/bin/python3*
+ ls /usr/local/bin/python3*
+ ```
+
+ **Create venv with a specific version:**
+ ```bash
+ # Remove old venv if needed
+ rm -rf .venv
+
+ # Use full path to the Python version you want
+ /opt/homebrew/bin/python3.13 -m venv .venv
+ source .venv/bin/activate
```
+3. ### Ruby Setup
+
+ ```bash
+ bundle install --binstubs --path mscp_gems
+ ```
+
+4. ### Generate Content
+
+ ```bash
+ # Create a baseline
+ ./mscp.py baseline -k cis_lvl1
+
+ # Generate guidance with all outputs
+ ./mscp.py guidance custom/baselines/cis_lvl1_macos_26.0.yaml -A
+
+ # When done, deactivate the virtual environment
+ deactivate
+ ```
+
+
+
+---
+
+### Option 2: Container
+
+The easiest way to get started — no local dependencies required.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- [Apple Container](https://github.com/apple/container) or [Docker](https://www.docker.com/)
+
+
+
+1. ### Create Local Folders
+
+ ```bash
+ mkdir -p ~/Desktop/mscp/custom
+ ```
+
+2. ### Run the Container
+
+ **Using Apple Container:**
+ ```bash
+ container run -it \
+ --volume ~/Desktop/mscp:/mscp/build \
+ --volume ~/Desktop/mscp/custom:/mscp/custom \
+ ghcr.io/brodjieski/mscp_2.0:latest
+ ```
+
+
+ **Apple Container commands** Click to expand
+
+ **Start the container service (required before first run):**
+ ```bash
+ container system start
+ ```
+
+ **Exit the container:**
+ ```bash
+ exit
+ ```
+
+ **Stop the container service:**
+ ```bash
+ container system stop
+ ```
+
+ **Check container service status:**
+ ```bash
+ container system status
+ ```
+
+
+
+ **Or Using Docker:**
+ ```bash
+ # Note: Docker requires full paths for volume mounts
+ docker run -it \
+ --volume /Users//Desktop/mscp:/mscp/build \
+ --volume /Users//Desktop/mscp/custom:/mscp/custom \
+ ghcr.io/brodjieski/mscp_2.0:latest
+ ```
+
+3. ### Generate Content
+
+ ```bash
+ # Create a baseline
+ ./mscp.py baseline -k cis_lvl1
+ # Output: Generated new baseline file: config/custom/baselines/cis_lvl1_macos_26.0.yaml
+
+ # Generate guidance with all outputs
+ ./mscp.py guidance custom/baselines/cis_lvl1_macos_26.0.yaml -A
+ # Output: MSCP DOCUMENT GENERATION COMPLETE! All documents in: /build/cis_lvl1_macos_26.0/
+ ```
+
+
+
+---
+
+### Option 3: UV Workflow
+
+A fast, modern Python workflow using [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/).
+
+**Requirements:**
+- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/)
+- Ruby
+
+
+
+1. ### Clone and Setup
+
+ ```bash
+ git clone https://github.com/usnistgov/macos_security.git
+ cd macos_security
+ git checkout dev_2.0
+ bundle install --binstubs --path mscp_gems
+ ```
+
+2. ### Run Commands
+
+ ```bash
+ uv run --python 3.13 mscp.py guidance config/default/baselines/macos/15/cis_lvl1.yaml
+ ```

## Setup
+**Requirements:**
+- Python >= 3.12.1 (3.14 is not supported)
+ - Recommended: [Macadmins Python](https://github.com/macadmins/python)

-1. ### Install Python Packages
+1. ### Clone the Repository
- macOS includes Python 3. Just install the required packages:
-
- ```bash
- pip3 install pyyaml xlwt --user
- ```
-
- **Optional** — for PDF output, also install Ruby gems:
- ```bash
- gem install asciidoctor asciidoctor-pdf rouge --user-install
- ```
-
-
- **Want isolated installs?** Click to expand
-
- A **virtual environment** keeps packages separate from your system Python — useful if you don't want to install packages globally or need to avoid conflicts.
-
- **Python virtual environment:**
- ```bash
- # Create environment (once)
- python3 -m venv venv
-
- # Activate before running scripts
- source venv/bin/activate
-
- # Install packages inside the environment
- pip3 install -r requirements.txt
-
- # When done, deactivate
- deactivate
- ```
-
- **Ruby local bundle:**
- ```bash
- bundle install --path vendor/bundle
- ```
-
-
-
-2. ### Get the Repository
-
- **Option A: Clone with Git** (recommended)
```bash
git clone https://github.com/usnistgov/macos_security.git
cd macos_security
git checkout sequoia
```
- Replace `sequoia` with your target macOS version.
+ Replace `sequoia` with your target macOS version (`sequoia`, `sonoma`, `ventura`, etc.).

+
+ **Prefer to download a ZIP?** Click to expand
- **Option B: Download ZIP**
1. Go to the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/usnistgov/macos_security)
2. Click the branch dropdown and select your macOS version
3. Click **Code** → **Download ZIP**
4. Extract and open the folder
