Does anyone know how to install MonoGame on Mac. I have been looking around for a while and I can't find any guides. I have Mono and MonoDevelop up and running fine, but I cannot figure out how to install MonoGame. Thanks.

I found this at their GitHub page. It tells you all the things you need in advance, as well as the basic installation instructions for MonoGame itself.

I saw that link before. Im not sure what I am supposed to do after I unzip MonoGame. – user1150769 Apr 30 '12 at 17:48

It says to add it to your project. So you would make a project in whatever your IDE is (sorry, I don't have a Mac) and you would reference MonoGame within the project. – Mike C Apr 30 '12 at 17:50

After installing all the prerequisites listed on their GitHub tutorial page, you'll need to add the MonoGame.Framework.MacOS and Lidgren.Network.MacOS projects from the unzipped MonoGame directory to your solution. You'll then need to add MonoGame.Framework.MacOS in your project's references.

I also ran into snags when trying to set MonoGame up on a Mac. Getting a simple program up and running took a lot longer than expected. Once I got it working, I decided to post the basic template that I use for MonoGame projects on MacOS. You can find that template here. It will likely have invalid links to the MonoGame projects, but those should be simple to fix.
