Ord Guide for Mac

Main source for this: Mac beginner's guide by ETS – This whole guide is a blatant copy & paste, I deserve zero credits!

This guide mostly assumes a primary SSD and an external SSD, formatted as APFS. If you want to follow the commands verbatim, name your external SSD volume as ord-dev. You'll still need ~100 GB free on your internal disk, as only the bitcoin blocks are moved to the external SSD. This configuration allows for moving the bulk of the storage needs to the external but leaving enough in the default locations to make commands easier.

⚠️ This guide won't work well if your primary or external storage are on a spinning disk. SSD only! Like really, you will regret your wasted time otherwise! Also make sure that you have a lot of memory – otherwise ord will never finish. Even machines with 32 GB+ are struggling sometimes these days. Go for 64 GB!
