OSX Instructions

[agzam]

Can someone please share how they do it on a Mac? I have to use a Mac (not by choice) and with every update something Python-related breaks in the system. This time it was the latest Sonoma patch. I can never get the notmuch2 bindings installed properly. I would appreciate it if someone shared their workaround for Mac. Thanks.
