Install ZeroTier on Mac

Download the Mac installer package from the Zerotier Download page here:

Download Zerotier

Once downloaded double-click the package to install it on your Mac.

In Applications, launch the ZeroTier app.

An icon will appear in the top-right toolbar of your desktop . Left click the icon and select "Join New Network" enter your Network ID into the field and click "Join".

If you don't see the "Join Network" option, then open a Terminal window and type "zerotier-cli join (your Network ID)" then press enter.

Your Mac needs to be authorised on the zerotier website before you can continue. Click the "Networks" tab on the ZeroTier web page then select your Network from the list. The list shows devices that are either active on the network or are wanting to connect.

Find the macOS device that says "Not Authorized". This should have a "Device ID" that matches your "My Address" number.

Click the device then:

1. Give it a "Device Name" such as "My Mac" this will help you keep track of all your devices.
2. Enable the "Device Authorized" switch.

Scroll down to the bottom of "Device Details" and click "Save".

Click the Back button to go back to the Member Devices list.

Make a note of the "ZT IP" address. We will use this IPv4 address in FileBrowser later to connect to your Mac.

From the ZeroTier client app "Preferences..." menu item you can enable "Start UI at Login" to save you having to find the app each time you need it.
