Still not working properly, work in progress...

Mac OS usually uses either Homebrew or MacPort, but in general it should be the same.
Based on this discussion:#20

I though of giving it a try, without making a separate installation bash file solely for mac use.

Using MacVim as the GUI and the dependencies installed just fine.

However, installing it had a problem, I would need to see what is equivalent to yavaide.desktop (xdg-user-dir DESKTOP) for mac.

Anyway, hope it will help someone as a base first step.

yavide.desktop is just a way of registering the application in freedesktop.org-compliant systems. MacOs must have its own, perhaps similar, way of doing the same. It is basically a launcher/shortcut (with appropriate icon) which allows user to run the application via menus, desktop shortcuts, application launchers etc.

Good work btw.

@JBakamovic I'm trying to get your plugin to work on Mac OS X, using Vim from the terminal - is that something that can be supported/is supported?

Sorry for the delayed reply. Vim instance ought to be run from terminal is usually not compiled with client-server support which is a requirement. It is utilized in order to implement async behaviour.
