+Mac OS X Readme
+===============
+
+To install on Mac OS X with the .zip distribution (first seen in 1.3.6) you must follow these steps:
+
+ 1. Extract the zip file to any location (usually double click will do this)
+ 2. Open Terminal, and cd to the extracted directory (e.g. /Users/my-name/Downloads/extracted-dir/)
+ 3. Copy the binaries to /usr/bin using: sudo cp barrier* /usr/bin
+ 4. Correct the permissions and ownership: sudo chown root:wheel /usr/bin/barrier*; sudo chmod 555 /usr/bin/barrier*
+
+Alternatively, you can copy the binaries as root. How to enable the root user in Mac OS X:

+
+Once the binaries have been copied to /usr/bin, you should follow the configuration guide:
