    • Install "Command Line Tools for Xcode", either directly or through Xcode, both available from Apple Developer downloads (free registration required). Xcode can also be installed through the App Store application.
    • Open the Terminal.app (found in Applications -> Utilities) and copy & paste the command below into it (then press the 'return' key):
      curl -L http://xrl.us/installperlosx | bash
    • Once this is finished (it takes several minutes), quit the Terminal app.
