How to setup a perforce server on a Mac

1. copy p4d and p4 to /usr/local/bin

2. chmod +rwx if necessary

3. copy the following to /Library/LaunchDaemons
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>com.perforce.p4d</string> <key>OnDemand</key> <false/> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/usr/local/bin/p4d</string> <string>-r</string> <string>/Users/p4admin/Depot</string> <string>-p</string> <string>2200</string> </array> <key>ServiceIPC</key> <false/> <key>ServiceDescription</key> <string>Perforce Daemon</string> <key>UserName</key> <string>p4admin</string> </dict> </plist>

4. create an account called p4admin

5. chown root perforce.plist

6. sudo launchctl load perforce.plist

7. p4 -p 2200 info (should work at this point)
