Purchase NRF51822 from amazon #94

So I'm thinking about ordering an NRF51822 from amazon but one thing I'm not sure about is how will I connect this to my computer to deploy from OpenhayStack Application on my mac? This is the one I'm planning on purchasing. I got the application on my mac and installed the Mail Plugin just fine. What else will I need to connect the computer to NRF51822 thank you.

I am looking at these all in one units and not sure which will work:

I plan on simply tracking if an asset is inside the building or not. Beacon rate can be every 4 hours for the longest battery life.
