HTTrack is a free (GPL, libre/free software) and easy-to-use offline browser utility. It allows you to download any website from the Internet to a local directory on your computer.
It automatically arranges the original site’s relative link structure. Simply open a page of the “mirrored” website in your browser, and you can browse the site from link to link as if you are viewing it online.
HTTrack can also update an existing mirrored site and resume interrupted downloads. HTTrack is fully configurable and has an integrated help system.
Install HTTrack on MacOS
HTTrack requires Homebrew. If you already have Homebrew installed on your Mac, then proceed. Else, check this tutorial first: Install Homebrew on Mac & Fix “Brew: Command Not Found”
Finally, to install Homebrew run the following command:
brew install httrack
That’s it!
You can use HTTrack by using the command httrack in your terminal window and hitting Enter/Return.
Uninstall HTTrack From Mac
Make sure that HTTrack is completely closed.
Then open Terminal and enter the following command:
brew uninstall httrack
and press Return/Enter.
Yay! It works!! A zillion thanks!!!

i have a problem how to use it, please show me how to use it on youtube or the video, give me the link or email me on akramgymaniac@gmail.com
Any help would be appreciated
Cool tool, THanks so much for sharing ….
Cheer up…
What is the first package from RUBY ? looks suspicious.
That’s to install Homebrew. Homebrew is the most popular package manager for Mac OS X.
What do you mean with Step 3
do I have to type this??? brew install httrack
Its asking me for a password orso
That’s the actual step to install httrack. It’s asking for the password because Mac requires root password to execute any sudo command just like Linux.
After install it show me httrack not found Please help.
Error is mention below
Installation successful!
==> Homebrew has enabled anonymous aggregate user behaviour analytics.
Read the analytics documentation (and how to opt-out) here:
https://docs.brew.sh/Analytics.html
==> Next steps:
– Run `brew help` to get started
– Further documentation:
https://docs.brew.sh
Maxs-MacBook-Pro:~ max$
Maxs-MacBook-Pro:~ max$ httrack
-bash: httrack: command not found
Maxs-MacBook-Pro:~ max$
Maxs-MacBook-Pro:~ max$ httrack
-bash: httrack: command not found
Maxs-MacBook-Pro:~ max$ httrack
-bash: httrack: command not found
Maxs-MacBook-Pro:~ max$
That simply means it’s not installed properly and that’s why it’s saying “httrack not found”.
You can safely ignore that Homebrew Analytics warning.
Reinstall the dependencies using the first command and then install HTTrack using homebrew. Restarting your Mac also helps sometimes.
Let me know if it still doesn’t work! Good luck 🙂
I thought I could not use httrack on mac, but finally I found you site and it worked.
Thank you very much!
Glad you found it useful. Thanks for your comment 🙂
Great post! Very helpful for so many people I am sure! I needed this info years ago! Thanks!
Glad you found it useful. Cheers!
I cant really understand the first step, and unable to follow up with the rest of the steps. Please help
This was such an easy way to get httrack on my mac! Thank you very much!

Thank you! it works.
Im getting the password key icon- writing in the last bit – ‘brew install httrack’ is not accepted/visible.
When it asks for password, write your Mac’s password and press enter. It won’t be visible no matter how long it is. If your mac has no password, simply press enter.
Works flawless, thanks!!
excellent post amigo. thank you so much.
You are welcome 🙂
Thank you for the post – it works very well. Is there an equally easy way to uninstall HTTrack and Homebrew?
I am glad it worked for you. I’ve updated the article to add HTTrack uninstallation instructions. To uninstall Homebrew, please check this article: https://criticecho.com/install-homebrew-mac-osx/
You’re a champ ! Thank you very much !
You’re welcome 🙂
After installing it, how to access it to start using the package and download the website?
Enter httrack https://example.com in the terminal. Replace https://example.com with the address of the site you want to download.
Or, enter httrack –help to list all the available commands.
thanks
Im stock in the Step #3
Run the following command to install HTTrack:
