Hey Bart,
Here's the installation instructions for OSX:
------------------------------
Quick Install:
Download the file "blender-publisher-2.25-mac-osx-10.1.zip" from the
downloads section of the Blender Website. Extract it by double-clicking
the file, if it does not automatically extract as it downloads. Open the
folder "blender-publisher-2.25-mac-osx-10.1" and double-click the
"blenderpublisher" icon to start it. Drag the "blenderpublisher" icon to
the Dock to make an alias there.
In-depth Instructions:
Blender Publisher is available from the Blender Web site
(http://www.blender.org) in source form, and as a binary for Mac OSX.
Unless you have problems running the binary, you will not need to
download and compile the sources. From the downloads page, choose the
"NaN Blender Publisher 2.25" link. Next, select the "Blender
executables" link. You will not need a Publisher Key file for OS X.
Download the file "blender-publisher-2.25-mac-osx-10.1.zip" from the
downloads section of the Blender Website. If you use Internet Explorer,
the file will download and be automatically extracted with Stuffit(R)
(http://www.stuffit.com) to a folder on your Desktop named
"blender-publisher-2.25-mac-osx-10.1". If you use Netscape, you will be
prompted to choose whether to download the file or have it automatically
extracted with Stuffit(R). If you choose to have Stuffit(R) extract it,
it will be extracted to a folder on your Desktop named
"blender-publisher-2.25-mac-osx-10.1". If you choose to download it,
select a location and click "Save". Then navigate to the location you
saved the file in and double-click it to have Stuffit(R) open it in that
location. It will extract the files to a folder named
"blender-publisher-2.25-mac-osx-10.1".
Open the "blender-publisher-2.25-mac-osx-10.1" folder, and double-click
the "blenderpublisher" icon to run Blender. You can also open your hard
drive (the Macintosh HD icon on your Desktop), and open your
Applications, then drag the "blenderpublisher" icon from the original
folder to the Applications folder. If you wish to leave the original
"blenderpublisher" file and make a copy in the Applications folder, hold
the option key while dragging. If you wish to make an alias to the
original "blenderpublisher" program, hold both the option and command
keys while dragging the icon.
You can also place the binary, a copy of the binary or an alias to the
binary on your Desktop instead of the Applications folder, or put an
alias on your Dock simply by dragging the program icon down to the Dock.
