Installing ExifTool 12.68 on Mac: A Step-by-Step Guide

As a photographer or graphic designer, you're likely familiar with the importance of metadata management. One popular tool for managing image metadata is ExifTool, a powerful command-line utility that allows you to read and write metadata from various file formats. In this article, we'll walk you through the process of installing the latest version of ExifTool (12.68) on your Mac.

Before we dive into the installation process, let's take a step back and discuss the importance of managing multiple repositories and types from one server installation. As Chocolatey Software recommends, using an internal/private cloud repository can significantly improve your workflow by providing a centralized location for managing multiple packages and caching or internalizing existing community packages.

To set up an internal/private cloud repository, you'll need to meet certain requirements. First, ensure that you have an edition of Chocolatey (including the free open-source edition) installed on your machine. This will allow you to host your own packages and cache or internalize existing community packages.

Once you've met the requirements, you can start installing ExifTool 12.68 on your Mac. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Download ExifTool

Head over to the official ExifTool website and download the latest version (12.68) for macOS.

Step 2: Install Homebrew

If you haven't already, install Homebrew, a popular package manager for macOS. This will allow you to easily install and manage packages on your machine.

Step 3: Install ExifTool Using Homebrew

Once Homebrew is installed, use the following command to install ExifTool:

`brew install exiftool`

This may take a few minutes to complete, depending on your internet connection and the speed of your machine.

Step 4: Verify ExifTool Installation

To verify that ExifTool has been successfully installed, open a terminal window and type:

`exiftool -ver`

This should display the version number of ExifTool installed on your machine.

Installing ExifTool 12.68 on your Mac is a straightforward process that requires minimal technical expertise. By following these simple steps, you can easily get started with managing your image metadata using this powerful command-line utility. Remember to also set up an internal/private cloud repository to streamline your workflow and improve collaboration with team members.

Remember, the packages found in this section of the site are provided, maintained, and moderated by the community.
