address@hidden macOS
+macOS is the operating system used on Apple devices
+(@url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS}). macOS does not come with a
+package manager pre-installed, but several widely used, third-party package
+managers exist, such as Homebrew or MacPorts.  Installation with Homebrew
+is tested and therefore recommended by the Gnuastro developers.  If not
+already installed, first obtain Homebrew by following the instructions at
address@hidden://brew.sh}.  Homebrew manages packages in different `taps'.  If
+you plan to install @command{wcslib} via Homebrew you will need to
address@hidden into @command{brewsci/science} first (the tap may change in
+the future, but can be found by calling @command{brew search wcslib}).
