The following steps will use Homebrew on macOS.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make sure your brew repositories are up to date.
    \n
    <\/p>\n
    \n
    brew update<\/span>\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n

    If you are currently up-to-date, you will be presented with the following message
    \n
    <\/p>\n
    \n
    Already up-to-date.<\/span><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
     <\/li>\n
  2. Install OpenVPN with brew
    \n
    <\/p>\n
    \n
    brew install openvpn<\/span><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
     <\/li>\n
  3. Get brew installation information.
    \n
    <\/p>\n
    \n
    brew info openvpn<\/span><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
     <\/p>\n
    You should then receive a similar output as follows:
    \n
    <\/p>\n
    \n
    openvpn: stable 2.4.8 (bottled)\r\nSSL\/TLS VPN implementing OSI layer 2 or 3 secure network extension\r\nhttps:\/\/openvpn.net\/index.php\/download\/community-downloads.html\r\n\/usr\/local\/Cellar\/openvpn\/2.4.8 (84 files, 1.4MB)\r\nPoured from bottle on 2019-12-06 at 13:35:51\r\nFrom: https:\/\/github.com\/Homebrew\/homebrew-core\/blob\/master\/Formula\/openvpn.rb\r\n==> Dependencies\r\nBuild: pkg-config \u2718\r\nRequired: lz4 \u2714, lzo \u2714, openssl@1.1 \u2714, pkcs11-helper \u2714\r\n==> Requirements\r\nRequired: macOS >= 10.10 \u2714\r\n==> Caveats\r\nTo have launchd start openvpn now and restart at startup:\r\nsudo brew services start openvpn\r\n==> Analytics\r\ninstall: 6,513 (30 days), 19,105 (90 days), 58,279 (365 days)\r\ninstall-on-request: 6,050 (30 days), 17,638 (90 days), 52,988 (365 days)\r\nbuild-error: 0 (30 days)<\/span><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
     <\/li>\n
  4. The brew installation path should look similar to the following:
    \n
    <\/p>\n
    \n
    \/usr\/local\/Cellar\/openvpn\/2.4.8<\/span><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
     <\/li>\n
  5. In the terminal, export your PATH as follows.
    \n
    <\/p>\n
    \n
    export PATH=$PATH:\/usr\/local\/Cellar\/openvpn\/2.4.8\/sbin<\/span><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
     <\/li>\n
  6. Verify installation and PATH are a success.
    \n
