Preparing for installation on Mac OS/X

Follow the installation instructions for Python on The Hitchhiker’s guide to Python.

Here is the super-short summary:

  • Install Homebrew:

    /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

  • Install python:

    brew install python

  • Have some coffee.

Next create a virtualenv.
