title: Macintosh Installing HAXM for Android
body: <p>I am following the instructions from <a href="https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/installation-instructions-for-intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-mac-os-x" rel="noreferrer">https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/installation-instructions-for-intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-mac-os-x</a></p>
  
  <p>I used the Android SDK Manager and installed Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM Installer).
  I then used the Intel HAXM installer and used the default settings. I then tried to run </p>
  
  <pre><code> kextstat | grep intel 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and nothing is happening. I tried to run</p>
  
  <pre><code> sudo kextload –b com.intel.kext.intelhaxm
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following errors </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>/–b failed to load - (libkern/kext) not found; check the system/kernel
    logs for errors or try kextutil(8). 
    /com.intel.kext.intelhaxm failed
    to load - (libkern/kext) not found; check the system/kernel logs for
    errors or try kextutil(8).</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The Android SDK states that I am missing /dev/haxm.</p>
  
  <p>How do I resolve the issues with my installed version of HAXM inside of OS10.10?</p>
