Upgrade nodejs to v12.x.x

$ sudo npm install -g n
$ sudo n lts

Install hsd

$ sudo apt install libunbound-dev
$ git clone https://github.com/handshake-org/hsd
$ cd hsd
$ npm i

Get IP

$ ifconfig
wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 10.0.1.5  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 10.0.1.255
        ...

Run hsd: note that I am using the IP obtained from ifconfig as the rs-host setting

$ sudo hsd --rs-host=10.0.1.5 --rs-port=53

BONUS: enable as service for auto-restart!

edit file with this command:

$ sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/hsd.service

these are the contents:

[Unit]
Description=hsd
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=1
User=root
Environment="HSD_NETWORK=main"
Environment="HSD_LOG_LEVEL=debug"
Environment="HSD_NO_WALLET=true"
Environment="HSD_RS_PORT"
Environment="HSD_RS_HOST=0.0.0.0"
Environment="HSD_PREFIX=/home/pi/.hsd"
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/node /home/pi/hsd/bin/hsd

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

execute:

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl enable hsd.service
$ sudo systemctl start hsd

The service file is just a nice touch to enable auto-restart. For static IP, I followed this guide: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-static-ip-address/ and just set my static IP to 10.0.1.5 which was the address my router DHCP gave me anyway

Then I set my iphone settings to the screenshot below under my home wifi network:

and OSX network settings:
