Sphinxsearch 2.3.2-beta version for OSX

I want to install 2.3.2-beta version on my Mac book pro (sierra) and I couldn't find the setup file in any site.

Could you please help me to install it on my OSX?

I also ask this question on sphinxsearch forums, but no one answered me.

Also there is a macOS binary file in this page http://sphinxsearch.com/downloads/current/

But I do not know how to install it on my mac. I can install this version too, if I could install the binaries. But I don't know how.

Thanks a lot.

There should be the binaries in 'bin' dir once you unarchive that. Just use them, you can put them where you wish (/usr/bin/ , /usr/local/bin/ or ~/Applications/ etc.), the binaries are stand-alone and don't need anything nearby. BTW in Manticore (fork of Sphinx) few osx-related bugs were fixed recently, so you may prefer to use that instead.

Please read https://sphinxsearch.com/docs/current.html#ref-searchd and https://sphinxsearch.com/docs/current.html#ref-indexer on how to run the binaries. As for the paths in your sphinx config file - you can change them as you want, they don't need to point to any specific location. You can also use this as a getting started guide, looks like it may be helpful to you (it's for Manticore, but should work as well for Sphinx)
