Hi all,

I was looking at the Tesseract wiki, and it states that "The easiest 
way to install Tesseract is with MacPorts." I don't think that is 
true any more. MacPorts requires XCode to be manually installed 
before it can be installed, which doesn't look like it's very simple 
for a non-expert.

Homebrew seems much simpler, plus it is very popular, doesn't 
require sudo, and is frequently updated, so I think we should be 
recommending that first in the Mac OS X section of the wiki. Any 
objections? I don't use a Mac myself, so possibly I am 
misunderstanding something.

My proposed new text is this:

## Mac OS X

The easiest way to install Tesseract is with 
[Homebrew](http://brew.sh/). Once it is installed, you can install 
Tesseract, including all language data, by running the command:
```
brew install --all-languages tesseract
```

If you only need English recognition you can instead install using 
this command:
```
brew install tesseract
```

Sound good?

Nick
