AzCopy for MacOS ?

[123dev]

Hi,

Is there AzCopy available for MacOS?
We see for Windows and Linux here
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azcopy-linux?toc=%2fazure%2fstorage%2ffiles%2ftoc.json, but nothing for Mac.

Considering that we run powershell on Macs it would be nice to have this tool compiled for Mac.

Thanks

@123dev There is a fairly new project still in preview allowing support for MacOS: https://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-azcopy
You can check it on the provided link.
We will now proceed to close this thread. If there are further questions regarding this matter, please reopen it and we will gladly continue the discussion.

Hi Adam-Smith

Many thanks for a prompt follow up.
Checked the link, which suggested that there should be links for 3 downloads

Download the AzCopy executable using one of the following links:

Windows x64
Linux x64
MacOS x64

But there are no links, so I attempted to build it myself.
Have no experience with GO, installed Go and added one by one the respective dependencies
until I encounter the following error.

common/credCache_darwin.go:28:2: cannot find package "github.com/jiacfan/keychain" in any of:
        /usr/local/opt/go/libexec/src/github.com/jiacfan/keychain (from $GOROOT)
        /Users/hrant/go-workspace/src/github.com/jiacfan/keychain (from $GOPATH)

I can't find github.com/jiacfan/keychain to add that dependency.
If you prefer I move this as an issue into that repo, I'll gladly do that.

Thanks

@123dev I'd highly recommend moving it to an issue within the Azcopy repo

Thanks Adam-Smith
