On 10.6 or above: install Python 2.7 (i386+x86_64) from python.org.

On 10.5: install Python 2.7 (i386+ppc) from python.org.

Install wxPython2.8-osx-unicode-2.8.12.1-universal-py2.7.dmg.

Install virtualenv (using easy_install is easiest, I believe).

Clone this repo: git clone git:https://github.com/thouis/homebrew.git CPhomebrew.git

Then run CPhomebrew.git/bin/brew install cellprofiler-dev

Then, activate the CP virtualenv: source CPhomebrew.git/bin/activate-cpdev

And you should be able to run CellProfiler with "pythonw32 CellProfiler.py". (The virtualenv will have modified your PATH to point to the correct version of pythonw32).

Features, usage and installation instructions are summarized on the homepage.
