It's no longer necessary to copy everything into bazel-copy, and you can safely remove that folder.

Requirements
Xcode:
Install the latest XCode from the App Store. Open it at least once so it installs the command line tools.
Homebrew & Homebrew Deps:
Install Homebrew from https://brew.sh/
Then install Bazel:
$ brew install bazelisk
Python:
The build system will automatically download a copy of Python 3.9 as part of the build.
It is also possible to override the Python 3.9 that the build system uses. We only recommend you do this if you have downloaded Python from python.org, as we have heard reports of things failing when using a Python 3 from macOS or Homebrew.
To override Python, put the following into a file called user.bazelrc at the top of this repo (assuming /usr/local/bin/python links to your Python 3.9 binary).
build --action_env=PYO3_PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python
Running Anki during development
From the top level of Anki's source folder:
./run
This will build Anki and run it in place.
The first build will take a while, as it downloads and builds a bunch of dependencies. When the build is complete, Anki will automatically start.
The Javascript build code is currently a bit flaky, so the initial build may fail with an error. If you get an error when running/building, try repeating the command once or twice - it should pick up where it left off.
To play audio, use Homebrew to install mpv and lame.
Optimized builds
The ./run command will create a non-optimized build by default. This is faster
to compile, but will mean Anki will run considerably slower.
To run Anki in optimized mode, use:
./scripts/runopt
