I’ve followed the instructions here:

> <https://github.com/sleuthkit/autopsy/blob/develop/Running_Linux_OSX.txt>

But when I tried to run sh unix\_setup.sh I get the following error;  
\> Checking prerequisites and preparing Autopsy:  
\>  
\> ---------------------------------------------

From what I can see, the problem is that brew install sleuthkit OR building sleuthkit on brew installs Sleuthkit 4.6.7 not 4.7.0.

But I can’t seem to find how to get 4.7.0 installed on the Mac?

Until TSK 4.8.0 is released and a brew package is available for it the only way to get this to work on MacOS is to build TSK yourself.

I am having the same issue. How would you go about building TSK yourself?
