To create the Jenkins Installer for OSX you need an OSX machine with Developer Tools installed. You can download the Developer Tools from Apple’s Developer Connection website (http://developer.apple.com)
To build an installer you need to download the version you’d like to package from http://mirrors.jenkins-ci.org/war/latest/. Download the jenkins.war and place the file in binary directory. The installer project requires the file to be there. Otherwise the creation process will fail.
Open a terminal and enter the following commands:
