The following procedure assumes you received the download link. Download the '**rda-docker-compose-with-ssl.tar**' software package. **Step 2:** Create a virtual environment using python3 ``` python3 -m venv eg. $ python3 -m venv rda-venv ``` **Step 3**: Source virtual env that was created in Step 2 as shown below. ``` $ cd rda-venv $ source bin/activate (rda-venv)$ ``` **Step 4**: Install docker-compose tool needed to install RDA as shown below ``` (rda-venv)$ pip3 install docker-compose (rda-venv)$ docker-compose --version docker-compose version 1.29.0, build 07737305 ``` *Note: Make sure docker-compose is installed properly* \ **Step 5**: Extract the '**rda-docker-compose-with-ssl.tar**' software package under the user's home directory or some other directory. ``` tar -xvf rda-docker-compose-with-ssl.tar ``` ![RDA files extracted under rda-venv with the files](/files/-MZGdSCdTNWigojdLxb2) **Step 3**: Run setup.py python script as shown below. ![Successful installation and setup of RDA on Mac OS](/files/-MZGguoYjI26rOIGUslI) {% hint style="info" %} **Note:** The setup.py creates a directory called '**cfx**' under user's home directory for configuration files and exported files.
