Getting ClamAV running on macOS isn’t that hard, but I was close to giving up! I love using open source software and macOS. As macOS is UNIX based, almost all open source software works on macOS. There are times where just using Linux to run open source software is a better experience than macOS. ClamAV is one of those times. If you are using the docker image and using Docker Machine on Mac then the host IP should be the IP of your Docker Machine IP. DOCKERIP avscan. Manual installation on Mac OS with Brew. Brew install clamav. You can find a slightly longer explaination here but make note of the comments as the instructions contain some issues. This macOS clamAV repo is now part of MacPorts.

A simple macOS clamAV configuration with scheduled volume scans and on-access scans of user Downloads and Desktop directories.

• What Does Homebrew Do?

  
  

  Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple (or your Linux system) didn’t.

• Homebrew installs packages to their own directory and then symlinks their files into /usr/local.

• Homebrew won’t install files outside its prefix and you can place a Homebrew installation wherever you like.

• It’s all Git and Ruby underneath, so hack away with the knowledge that you can easily revert your modifications and merge upstream updates.

• Homebrew complements macOS (or your Linux system). Install your RubyGems with gem and their dependencies with brew.

• “To install, drag this icon…” no more. Homebrew Cask installs macOS apps, fonts and plugins and other non-open source software.
