All three ROS 2 distros are now native on Homebrew-macOS:

brew tap idesign0/ros2

brew install ros2-humble
brew install ros2-jazzy
brew install ros2-kilted

One tap to get ROS 2 Jazzy with full simulation and robotics stack support:

:robot: Gazebo (gz-sim8) — Gazebo Harmonic simulation out of the box
:gear: ros2_control — Hardware abstraction & controllers
:mechanical_arm: MoveIt 2 — Motion planning
:world_map: Nav2 — Autonomous navigation

No Docker. No VMs. Native macOS.

And the best part? These aren’t one-time snapshots — they stay in sync with upstream and will keep getting updated as the ecosystem evolves. :counterclockwise_arrows_button:

What’s next? I’ve been quietly collecting -Werror flag failures from Apple Clang across all three distros. Fixing them upstream should meaningfully improve code quality across the stack.

Want to try MoveIt 2 or TurtleBot4 tutorials on macOS? I’ve patched them for all available distros:
