readme: add macOS build step #83

Closed mrpollo closed 3 years ago

mrpollo commented 3 years ago

Adds instructions for macOS users. It will mainly help with the perception that this only works on ubuntu. You can also use this on macOS without a problem.

Thanks. The macOS step looks useful, I think I followed similar steps a while ago.

Minor nit: I think we can just remove the explicit reference to Ubuntu in both the header and text. It should work on most Linux distros

@timg236 I can re-write the docs to make them clearer, right now they are basically a copy-paste script, we can describe the steps since they work on most Linux distros instead, and let everyone translate to whatever package manager they are using on their distro. Would that help? This would even include macOS.

The macOS docs look file so merging. I have a larger change to Readme.md in the pipeline for new features so I'll tweak the Linux instructions then.
