-- Install the required python over macports:
 ``` bash
-sudo port install python34
+$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/systemc
+$ make

-- Install the QtCreator via macports:
+Or you can install via homebrew:

 ``` bash
-sudo port install qt5-creator qt5
+$ brew install systemc
+```
+
+in this case, systemc will be installed, e.g. in:
+```
+/usr/local/Cellar/systemc/2.3.1
+```
+and make a simlink of the lib directory:
+```
+ln -s lib/ lib-macosx64

+- Install the required python 3 over homebrew:

+
+Python3 (via homebrew) will be installed in 
+```
+/usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.5.2_2/Frameworks/Python.framework

+
+or you can install manually using official package provided in [link](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
+
+**Note:** Official Python Package will be installed in

+- Install the QtCreator using offical setup file from [link](https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/#section-2)
+
+**Note:** You have later setup PATH for Qt5 and its tool if you install QtCreator manually, e.g:
+
+``` bash
+# Setting PATH for Qt5 and its tools
+PATH="/Users/<username>/Qt5.7.0/5.7/clang_64/bin:${PATH}"
+export PATH
 ```
 
 - Install the QWT manually to /opt/qwt, then do:
-``` bash
-cd /Library/Frameworks
-sudo ln -s /opt/qwt-6.1.2/lib/qwt.framework/ .
-```
-- The boost library must be installed manually, since the macports version is not compatible with DRAMSys:

+- The boost library can be installed manually or through homebrew:
+
+Manually: Install boost lib (filesystem & system) in /opt/boost
 
-```
-Then compile and install it:
 ``` bash
-./b2 toolset=clang-11
-sudo ./b2 install
-``` 
-DRAMSys and Analyzer only runs if the following is configured in the project settings:
+$ ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/opt/boost --with-libraries=filesystem,system
+$ sudo ./b2 install
 ```
-DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/boost/lib
-LIBQWT_HEADERS=/opt/local/include
-LIBQWT_HOME=/opt/local/lib
-PYTHON_HEADERS=/opt/local/include
-PYTHON_HOME=/opt/local/lib
-SYSTEMC_TARGET_ARCH=macosx64
-``` 
-For the trace analyzer the file /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/include/python3.4m/pyport.h has to be changed like this: https://trac.macports.org/attachment/ticket/44288/issue10910-workaround.txt
+
+Homebrew: Install boost lib (all, which consumes large storage) in 
+```
+/usr/local/Cellar 
+```
+
+``` bash
+$ brew install boost
+```
+
+
+- Export correct Environment Variables in your terminal's profile, e.g:
+
+``` bash
+# Setting for DRAMSys
+# SystemC via official source
+export SYSTEMC_HOME=/opt/systemc
+export SYSTEMC_TARGET_ARCH=macosx64
+# SystemC via Homebrew
+#export SYSTEMC_HOME=/usr/local/Cellar/systemc/2.3.1
+#export SYSTEMC_TARGET_ARCH=macosx64
+
+# Python via official pkg
+export PYTHON_HOME=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib
+export PYTHON_HEADERS=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/Headers
+
+# Python3 via Homebrew
+#export PYTHON_HOME=/usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.5.2_2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib
+#export PYTHON_HEADERS=/usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.5.2_2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/Headers
+
+export LIBQWT_HOME=/opt/qwt-6.1.4/lib
+export LIBQWT_HEADERS=/opt/qwt-6.1.4/lib/qwt.framework/Headers
+export LIBBOOST_HOME=/opt/boost/lib
+export LIBBOOST_HEADERS=/opt/boost/include
+
+# Add Boost Lib into Dynamic Lib Path
+DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/boost/lib:${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
+export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
+```
+
+-  For the trace analyzer the file:
+```
+/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/include/python3.4m/pyport.h 
+```
+has to be changed like [this](https://trac.macports.org/attachment/ticket/44288/issue10910-workaround.txt)
+
+- Install package [xerces](http://xerces.apache.org/mirrors.cgi) if your system does not have.
+
+- Type following command inside your dram.vp.system folder:
+
+``` bash
+$ mkdir build
+$ qmake ../DRAMSys/dram.vp.system.pro
+$ make -j<number_jobs>
+```
+
+Now you can try to run DramSys and traceAnalyzer App inside folder simulator and analyzer, respectively
 
 ### DRAMSys Thermal Simulation 
 
 The thermal simulation is performed by a **3D-ICE** [8] server accessed
 through the network. Therefore users interested in thermal simulation during
 their DRAMSys simulations need to make sure they have a 3D-ICE server up and
-running before starting. For more information about 3D-ICE visit the official
-website http://esl.epfl.ch/3D-ICE.
