| The easiest way to get the ClamAV package is using Homebrew |
| $ brew install clamav |
| Before trying to start the clamd process, you'll need a copy of the ClamAV databases. |
| $ cp /usr/local/etc/clamav/freshclam.conf.sample /usr/local/etc/clamav/freshclam.conf |
| comment out line 8 'Example' in freshclam.conf and make sure the following line is there around line 79: 'DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net' |
| $ cp /usr/local/etc/clamav/clamd.conf.sample /usr/local/etc/clamav/clamd.conf |
| comment out line 8 'Example' and uncomment line 85 'LocalSocket /tmp/clamd.socket' |
| Then run |
| $ /usr/local/Cellar/clamav/0.99.2_1/bin/freshclam -v |
| to download the ClamAV databases. The output will look something like this: |
| Current working dir is /usr/local/Cellar/clamav/0.99.2_1/share/clamav |
