This project is here to simplify installation of GNURadio for Mac OS X.
We only have two requirements that you need to install first
Please download the Python 2.7 release.
Following Apple conventions, installation is easy.
Simply download a release, open the DMG file, and then drag & drop GNURadio into your Applications directory.
Some users just do not want to install MacPorts only to use GNURadio. We get it. To each their own.
After you have installed GNURadio, check out the Tutorials.
Once you are confident with using some basic blocks, and if you don't already have an SDR you might want to consider purchasing one. RTL-SDR has a good roundup of SDR devices.
There are only a few extra steps to use before following Out of Tree Module Guide.
TODO: write #exactsteps Issue #9
For those who desperately want to build GNURadio for Mac from scratch using our method, you will only need two requirements listed above and to run build.sh.
Keep in mind, that building most dependencies from scratch will take some amount of time, but it should work without any errors.
If you encounter any errors, or if there is a particular runtime bug or feature that you would like to see, please create a new Issue.
Pull Requests are welcome!

1 Note, we have not transformed gnuradio_logo_icon-square.svg when building gnuradio.icns. It is identical to the original graphic in every way, sampled at various resolutions. See here for the #exactsteps followed. Also note that Issue #8 exists to simplify that process.
