Dependency Pull Acceleration on Remote Mac

Speed up Homebrew, npm, CocoaPods, and Swift Package Manager (SPM) on Mac mini M4 with the right mirrors and cache settings.

Why dependency pulls are slow

On Remote Mac, cross-region or restricted networks can slow down brew install, npm install, CocoaPods, and SPM. Choosing regional mirrors and using resume-friendly workflows reduces wait time and keeps CI consistent.

See our Blog for step-by-step guides: Homebrew, npm, CocoaPods mirror and resume guide and Git & Docker pull acceleration.

What we recommend

Use regional mirrors for Homebrew, npm, and CocoaPods where available.
Pre-pull or cache dependencies in CI so each run is consistent (e.g. with OpenClaw).
For Git and Docker, use relay or proxy options described in the Help and blog.
