EDIT: It seems that miranda is again distributed as a .tgz archive, therefore revert back to the original instructions here.

This is little walk-through for installing the Miranda programming language on OS X. There are the original instructions here, but they things have changed a little since that document was written. Hence this little write-up.

Firstly, download the OS X tarball from the Miranda downloads page or the direct download link.

Open your OS X Terminal (search for it in Spotlight) and go to the directory the tarball was downloaded to.

Then type 

sudo tar xpf mira-2032-MacOSX.tar -C /

This installs bunch of files in your /usr directory, hence the required su access. That’s it. Just run

mira 

and off you go. If you know about a nice IDE or editor with syntax highlighting please post it in the comments.
