MacOS Mojave and older

MacOS Catalina and later

Since MacOS Catalina, only 64 bits applications are supported. The older version of minicom was 32 bits and so, we couldn't use it. Instead of compiling it, you can use homebrew.

If you are upgrading minicom, you need to delete the old executable file and minicom's configuration files

# rm $(which minicom)
# rm /etc/minirc.dfl
$ rm ~/.minirc.dfl

$ brew install minicom
