Building PX4/Firmware requires a bunch of tools that aren't actually used for firmware builds. Sigh.

setup path to prefer homebrew-installed packages

vi ~/.bash_profile and add:

# Ensure user-installed binaries take precedence
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
# Load .bashrc if it exists
test -f ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc

Then:

source ~/.bash_profile

install homebrew

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

install brew packages

# install multiple flavors of python 
brew install cmake python python@2
brew cask install java
brew tap PX4/px4
brew install px4-dev

install required python packages

pip install pyserial empy toml numpy pandas jinja2 pyyaml

test your installation with a SITL build:

git submodule init
git submodule update
make px4_sitl none
