How to Install Audiobook Builder on Mac

Follow these steps to install Audiobook Builder using Homebrew, the most popular package manager for macOS. This works on both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs.

  1. 1

    Open Terminal

    Launch Terminal from your Applications > Utilities folder, or press Cmd + Space and type "Terminal".

    If you don't have Homebrew yet, paste the install script from brew.sh into Terminal and follow the prompts.
