### Preparations

Before you can build __mpv__ & __mpv.app__ on an Apple silicon (M1 / M2) Mac, there's a couple of required dependencies you'll need to install if you haven't already:

1. Go to __System Preferences__ > __Software Update__. If there's anything there to update, do it.

2. If you don't have the __Xcode Command Line Tools__ installed, run `xcode-select --install` and select _Install_ on the prompt that appears.

3. If you don't have __Homebrew__ installed, follow the instructions [here](https://brew.sh/#install).

4. If you've never run `brew install --only-dependencies mpv`, do so now.

5. If you've never run `brew install meson`, do so now.

You'll also need a local copy of the mpv repo, which you can get by running `git clone https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv`.

You can now run the attached script to build __mpv__ & __mpv.app__ on an Apple silicon Mac yourself. Just make sure you're in the root directory of the cloned repo beforehand.

### Updating

Going forward, you can update your local copy of the repo by running the following commands from its root directory:
```
git reset --hard
git clean --force -d -x
git pull origin master
```
