## Installing on macOS

OSX support is a bit lacking in the way that installation doesn't create an entry in the applications menu,
but this issue should be fixed someday in the future.
Other than that, everything appears to function more or less correctly.
If you have a choice, it is recommended to use Linux or Windows instead,
as these ports are supported much better at the moment.
macOS has three options for installation. The first is a compiled and self-sufficient binary that can be distributed and the other two use package managers.

### Installation option

Download macOS_DroneCAN_install.sh
Make it executable by navigating into the folder it is in (Downloads) and running:
```chmod +x macOS_DroneCAN_install.sh
./macOS_DroneCAN_install.sh
```

### Homebrew option

* Run the following commands:
