Hi @Gelossnake, an installation guide for osx can be found here https://osquery.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/install-osx/. Also I would read https://osquery.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/cli-flags/ to see the different command line flags to control the behaviour of osquery. I guess the flag

--config_plugin=filesystem

is meant for standalone use of osquery, but I haven't tried it. You can also start by running osqueryi (interactive version of osquery, not a daemon) to play around a little bit
