Hi @wussuphaters. Unfortunately the scripts only support linux for now. Mac support shouldn't be too hard to add, and there was a pull request to add Mac support a few years ago (https://github.com/scottbez1/splitflap/pull/13/files) but it was never completed by the author and I have not yet revisited it myself since I do all development on linux. You could try applying some of the changes from that PR to get it working (and if you do, a new PR would be greatly appreciated) otherwise I will probably not have time to revisit Mac support for another month or so.

@wussuphaters was it openscad.py that you had issues running on Mac OS X?

Closing out some old Issues. I believe this has been resolved as of #199
