You'll need to run several commands in a terminal window. Copy and paste each command separately and press Enter (The commands start after >). Now let's get started, and open a terminal window.
> brew --version
If it says "command not found", goto https://brew.sh/ and follow the instructions there. When homebrew is installed run these commands:
> brew install git haskell-stack wxmac freealut
> git clone https://github.com/tgass/macbeth.git
> cd macbeth
> cd macbeth-macos
> ./bundle.sh
> open Macbeth.dmg
sudo apt-get install git haskell-stack libalut-dev libglu1-mesa-dev freeglut3-dev mesa-common-dev libwxgtk3.0-dev lib32z1-dev libwxgtk-media3.0-dev
git clone https://github.com/tgass/macbeth.git
cd macbeth
stack setup
./env.sh stack build --extra-lib-dirs=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
stack exec Macbeth
From time to time I upload a binary for a recent macos here: http://www.macbeth-ficsclient.com
