Install CheeseWAF from a DMG, or run the tar.gz CLI.

DMG

Download cheesewaf-*-darwin-arm64.dmg (Apple Silicon) or cheesewaf-*-darwin-amd64.dmg (Intel).
Open the image and drag CheeseWAF into Applications.
Launch CheeseWAF from Launchpad or Applications.

The app starts the local controller. Use it to start, stop, and open the Web console.

If you only want the command line:

BASH

tar -xzf cheesewaf-*-darwin-arm64.tar.gz
cd cheesewaf-*
./cheesewaf serve --config ./configs/cheesewaf.yaml --data-dir ./data
