After installing and verifying all these components lets begin installing Ruby because metasploit is based on ruby backend so we have to install it first

1 : Install Homebrew

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

2 : Install Git and wget

brew install git
brew install wget 

3 : Install  RVM (  ruby version manager ) for installing ruby

curl -#L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --autolibs=3 --ruby

4 : Install Ruby

rvm requirements 
brew install autoconf automake libtool libyaml readline libksba openssl
rvm install ruby-1.9.3
rvm gemset create msf
rvm use ruby-1.9.3@msf --default

it will take some time to compile ruby from source after that your can verify your ruby installation using

ruby -v

Now ruby is installed in your mac .. YAY! one task is finished next is installing metasploit framework
for installing metasploit framework i like to keep things cleaner , means convention over configuration for that i will create a folder under root Directory called  “/opt ”  then inside that i will install metasploit framework , it’s better to visualize the folder structure

$ sudo su 
# mkdir -p /opt/
# cd /opt 
# git clone https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework.git msf

Download Source from github

$ sudo bundle install 

After bundler finish installing required gems then you can start framework by simple typing

$ sudo  ./msfconsole

done now you can use metasploit framework in your mac .
