Fix "Set up a Full Node" instructions for macOS

darko-mijic opened this issue · comments

macOS version: 13.3.1 (a) (22E772610a)
Processor: Apple M1 Max

I followed instructions to build a Pokadot node from the Setup Instructions, and it failed.

I needed to do the following things to fix the issues and successfully build and run a Polkadot node:

  1. brew install protobuf
  2. add /opt/homebrew/bin/protoc to PATH for my shell
  3. execute rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown in the cloned repo directory

Please check if the protobuf needs to be added to the instructions and maybe something to address the Rust WASM toolchain not installed, please install it! error solved by point 3.
