2.2 MacOS X binary distributions

MacOS X users can either compile the UNIX source code (see Compiling from UNIX source) or install the Asymptote binary available at

https://www.macports.org/

or at

https://brew.sh/

Note that many MacOS X (and FreeBSD) systems lack the GNU readline library. For full interactive functionality, GNU readline version 4.3 or later must be installed.
