It appeared nothing was happening with issues #862 or #954, so I've added some screenshots and made a start at writing instructions for installing Bitcoin Core on Mac OS X.

I copied and pasted some from the Windows section where applicable.

I did not include how to start Bitcoin Core once installed, because there are a number of ways to run it, including but not limited to:

  • Spotlight Search (Command+Space on the keyboard)
  • Launchpad (there is a key on the keyboard specifically for this, but also a Dock icon)
  • Finder (folder explorer /Applications/Bitcoin Core.app where ".app" is hidden by default)

My preferred method is Spotlight, however, it still displays as "Bitcoin-Qt":

en-osx-start-bitcoin-core

Launchpad:

en-osx-launchpad

Launchpad with search:

en-osx-launchpad-search

Let me know if there are any other screenshots or info needed.

@oliverdowling thanks! I haven't had a chance to review it yet, but here's a preview of what it will look like:

I noticed that my username was included in the Welcome to Bitcoin Core image, so I blurred it out.
