Hi thought I'd share my implementation of running FlareSolverr

be sure to have node installed via homebrew: https://brew.sh
be sure you have the dir where homebrew links all its Formula in /etc/paths

mine looks like this, I've added /usr/local/bin to the top.

/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin

to find out where brew symlinks all its Formula run brew --prefix node in terminal & it should output the full path to node as well as the folder where everything else is linked, for me its /usr/local/bin & M1 macs will typically use /opt/homebrew/bin

now either using https://www.soma-zone.com/LaunchControl/ or you just modify the following plsit to suit your environment.

	<string>logs/FlareSolverr.log</string>
	<key>WorkingDirectory</key>
	<string>/Users/USER/Apps/FlareSolverr</string>
</dict>
</plist>

save as FlareSolverr.plist in ~/Library/LaunchAgents folder, type open ~/Library/LaunchAgents in terminal & it should open the folder.

where <string>8085</string> change the port to whatever port value you need,
where <string>/Users/USER/Apps/FlareSolverr</string> USER this will be your user folder name, or just copy & paste the full path to where you git cloned the "FlareSolverr" folder to

where <string>/usr/local/bin/node</string> this is the full path location to where node is installed via homebrew (once homebrew has installed node) just type in brew --prefix node in terminal & it should output the full path.
this location will be different on ARM mac's.

where

	<key>RunAtLoad</key>
	<true/>

set this to false if you don't want it to run on boot.

make the directory logs In the root of the FlareSolverr folder so logging works.

every time you start ur mac it should autorun on load, to load & unload use:

To Load:
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/FlareSolverr.plist

To Unload: <-- be sure to use this before doing any git pull requests to update FlareSolverr
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/FlareSolverr.plist
