Install geth 1.4.6 on Mac

Question

I'm looking to install geth 1.4.6 that syncs much faster than 1.4.5. Unfortunately doing brew upgrade ethereum only updates geth to version 1.4.5.

How can I get geth 1.4.6 for Mac OS X?

Geth 1.4.7 (the release fixing homebrew) should be available now :)

geth is a Go program with one unique file and does not have any dependency. You could download the file here:

Simply replace the one in the /usr/local/bin or use it where it is.

Which of the executables should be used on Mac OS X?

The darwin amd64 version. Btw, we're going to push out a tiny windows console color fix release in a few days, which also fixes the homebrew issue (build server failure) that prevented the osx distribution.

like Peter said, the darwin amd64. On Unix, use 'uname -a' to know your os
