6 Before setting Skia up for automated testing from the command line, please
7 follow the instructions to run Skia tests (_dm_, _nano-bench_) with the
8 mainstream iOS tool chain. See the
9 [quick start guide for ios](/docs/user/build/).
11 iOS doesn't lend itself well to compiling and running from the command line.
12 Below are instructions on how to install a set of tools that make this possible.
13 To see how they are used in automated testing please see the bash scripts used
14 by the buildbot recipes:
15 <https://github.com/google/skia/tree/main/platform_tools/ios/bin>.
21 - libimobiledevice <http://www.libimobiledevice.org/>,
22 <https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice>
24 - ios-deploy <https://github.com/phonegap/ios-deploy>
26 Follow these steps to install them:
28 - Install Brew at <http://brew.sh/>
29 - Install _libimobiledevice_ (Note: All these are part of the _libimobiledevice_
30 project but packaged/developed under different names. The _cask_ extension to
31 _brew_ is necessary to install _osxfuse_ and _ifuse_, which allows to mount
32 the application directory on an iOS device).
35 brew install libimobiledevice
36 brew install ideviceinstaller
37 brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask
38 brew install Caskroom/cask/osxfuse
42 - Install node.js and ios-deploy
47 $ npm install ios-deploy
