+The following instructions are for CUDA 9.1 and cuDNN 7 for MacOS X 10.12+ and
a CUDA-capable GPU. They summarize confirmed successful builds in
[#9217](https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/9217).
+Alternatively, you may follow the [CUDA installation instructions for Mac OS
X](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-mac-os-x/index.html).
+
+1. [Download Xcode 8.3.3 from
Apple](https://download.developer.apple.com/Developer_Tools/Xcode_8.3.3/Xcode8.3.3.xip).
This is the version [NVIDIA specifies in its instructions for Mac OS
X](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-mac-os-x/index.html).
Unzip and rename to `Xcode8.3.3.app`.
+
+2. Run `sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode8.3.3.app` or to wherever you
have placed Xcode.
+
+3. Run `xcode-select --install` to install all command line tools, compilers,
etc.
+
+4. Install CUDA for MacOS X. Specific steps are provided in NVIDIA's [CUDA
installation
instructions](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-mac-os-x/index.html#installation).
+
+5. Run `git clone --recursive https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet.git
mxnet` to get the latest version.
+
+6. Run `cd mxnet`.
+7. Edit the `make/osx.mk` file to set the following parameters:
-*MXNet* is expected to be compatible on macOS with NVIDIA GPUs. Please install
CUDA 9.0 and cuDNN 7, prior to installing GPU version of *MXNet*.
+ ```
+ USE_CUDA = 1
+ USE_CUDA_PATH = /usr/local/cuda
+ USE_CUDNN = 1
+ USE_OPENCV = 0
+ ```
+8. Copy the `mxnet/make/osx.mk` to `mxnet/config.mk`
+
+9. Run `make`. If you previously attempted to compile you might want to do
make clean_all first. You can also run `make -j` with the number of processors
you have to compile with multithreading. There'll be plenty of warnings, but
there should be no errors.

Review comment:
Write `make clean_all` (i.e., with backticks)
