Does not work on OSX #3

The homepage and the Github imply it should work on OSX but I can't get it to work and there are no clear instructions on how to do so either.

Hi! NXBoot is available as command line tool on macOS, like stated on the project page.

You can download the binary by clicking the 'Download command-line tool' link. After moving to e.g. /usr/local/bin and setting appropriate permissions it can be used via Terminal:

$ nxboot
nxboot 0.2.0 build 7
error: a payload path must be set
usage: nxboot [-v] [-d|-k] [-r <relocator>] [--hekate <cmds>] <payload>
  -v: enable verbose debug output
  -d: daemon mode, don't stop after handling the first device
  -k: read data from USB EP1 to stdout after payload execution (conflicts with -d)
  -r: use a custom relocator (default: embedded Fusée/intermezzo)

advanced Hekate options:
  --hekate menu: enter Hekate menu regardless of autoboot setting
  --hekate id <id>: boot entry with matching 'id' value
  --hekate entry <number>: boot hekate_ipl.ini entry with matching index
  --hekate ums sd|[emu-]boot0|[emu-]boot1|[emu-]gpp: start USB storage host
  --hekate-log: display launch log

example for Hekate USB storage: nxboot --hekate ums sd hekate_ctcaer_5.3.4.bin
example for Coreboot/L4T: nxboot -r cbfs.bin coreboot.rom

There is no GUI version available for macOS, but the functionality of NXBoot on macOS is otherwise identical. If you are looking for an easy to use app then unfortunately NXBoot is not there yet for macOS.
