Note that mining on an NVIDIA chipset is not likely ever to be profitable or even worthwhile. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M in that MBP-R won't likely see more than 100 Mhash/s.

# How do I install Phoenix 2 on Mac OSX Mountain Lion?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2012-09-16)

I'm trying to install the latest version of [Phoenix2](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=75786) on Mac OSX Mountain Lion (on a Macbook Pro Retna) and unable to get it to work

What works:

* The [BitMinter](http://bitminter.com/) client says OpenCL works on my CPU and GPU (It's Java based)

What I've tried:

* The BitMinter client on older macs says OpenCL fails for the video card (which is expected)
* [This OpenCL Test Script](https://stackoverflow.com/q/12443976/328397) fails
* python -c "import numpy; print numpy.version.version" returns 1.6.1
* Installing [PyOpenCL](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyopencl) by running `make` and `python configure.py`
* Running the command: `sudo easy_install --upgrade twisted`
* Checking dependencies: python setup.py --requires
* Installing Phoenix by running `sudo make install` and `sudo python ./setup.py install'
* Running Phoenix by typing `python phoenix.py example.py`

**Question**

Can anyone walk me through the process of installing Phoenix2 (or other client) on OSX?

I suspect I need to uninstall OpenCL, twisted, etc, and replace it with a download from <http://www.macports.org/>, among other tasks
