Hi Looking for some really basic instructions for beginners on mac. A zero to hero perspective from what files to download, what order, how to put together the software and then how to run the examples. I know this is more aimed at developers, but i guess everyone has to start somewhere.. The end result is amazing! Any help?

I highly recommend using a package manager like Spack instead of building everything manually:

$ git clone https://github.com/spack/spack.git
$ . spack/share/spack/setup-env.sh  # or whatever shell you use
$ spack install openvslam
$ spack load openvslam
