***Super Simple XHyve NFS instructions***

1. Create a user account with the same login as MacOS account and add to group "wheel"

2. edit /etc/exports and add line to allow all clients to connect to host with specific user (for example):

/usr/home/jessebennett -alldirs -maproot=jessebennett

3. change the file /etc/rc.conf to enable nfs daemon on startup add these to the file:

# Start NFS server
nfs_server_enable="YES"

4. set permissions recursively in folder you intend to work on with chmod:

chown -R <user> <foldername>

5. start your NFS service with the "service" command:

sudo service nfsd start

6. On MacOS Host open Finder and select "Go" in menu and "Connect to Server..."

7. Enter address as in the following format (for example):

nfs://192.168.64.2/usr/home/jessebennett

Done!

**Do some extra checks see if VSCode can open folder, see if XCode errors if you edit a file in it-
no errors and you are good to go**
