title: Installing HAXM on osx Yosemite
body: <p>I'm following the instructions to install Intel HAXM on OS X.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/installation-instructions-for-intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-mac-os-x">https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/installation-instructions-for-intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-mac-os-x</a></p>
  
  <p>These instructions say to install the driver, and once it's done run <code>kextstat | grep intel</code> to see if it's installed.  If not, then run <code>sudo kextload –b com.intel.kext.intelhaxm</code>.</p>
  
  <p>However, at least on OS X Yosemite, I get the following error when I run kextload:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ kextstat | grep intel
  
  $ sudo kextload –b com.intel.kext.intelhaxm
  /Users/mike/–b failed to load - (libkern/kext) not found; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8).
  /Users/mike/com.intel.kext.intelhaxm failed to load - (libkern/kext) not found; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8).
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What is the proper way to install the HAXM kernel extension on 10.10 Yosemite?</p>
