This guide provides step-by-step instructions for deploying OpenIM on a Mac, including both source code and Docker deployment methods.

Preliminary Environment Setup

Ensure a clean working environment:

Create a New Directory: Start in a new directory to prevent conflicts.
Check for Conflicting Processes: Run these commands:
- ps -ef | grep openim
- ps -ef | grep chat
Check Docker Containers: Use docker ps to confirm no related containers are running.

Source Code Deployment

Deploying openim-server

Deploying from source requires adjusting Docker’s network configurations for Mac.

Clone and Prepare the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/openimsdk/open-im-server
cd open-im-server
export OPENIM_IP="[Your External/Internal IP]"
make init

Configure Kafka in docker-compose.yml:

Replace:

- KAFKA_CFG_ADVERTISED_LISTENERS=PLAINTEXT://kafka:9092,EXTERNAL://${DOCKER_BRIDGE_GATEWAY:-172.28.0.1}:${KAFKA_PORT:-19094}

With:

- KAFKA_CFG_ADVERTISED_LISTENERS=PLAINTEXT://kafka:9092,EXTERNAL://127.0.0.1:${KAFKA_PORT:-19094}

Start the Service:
```
docker compose up -d
```

Final Configurations:

vim config/config.yaml -c "%s/172\.28\.0\.1/127.0.0.1/g" -c "wq"

Launch openim-server:
```
make start
```
Verification:
```
make check
```
Wait five minutes before checking to ensure accuracy.

Deploying openim-chat

Deploy openim-chat using source code or Docker.

Return to Parent Directory:
```
cd ..
```

Deploy from Source:

git clone https://github.com/openimsdk/chat
cd chat
make init

Set Up MySQL (if not already deployed):

docker run -d \
  --name mysql \
  -p 13306:3306 \
  -p 23306:33060 \
  -v "$(pwd)/components/mysql/data:/var/lib/mysql" \
  -v "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime" \
  -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD="openIM123" \
  --restart always \
  mariadb:10.6

Configure openim-chat:
Modify config/config.yaml, replacing 172.28.0.1 with 127.0.0.1.
Start openim-chat:
```
make start
```
Verification:
```
make check
```
Web Interface Access:
Visit http://127.0.0.1:11001. For validation, see this guide.

Docker Deployment

For Docker deployment on Mac, refer to OpenIM Docker Documentation.
