How to install Matrix Product Toolkit on Mac OS X

Before installation

This method does not require installing things like

Home brew
Mac Ports

etc. Reason why I don't do this is that coexistence of multiple package installer made my boot loader confused; I ended up formatting HD and clean install OS X. I don't say that everyone will suffer this kind of problem, yet this way is a bit longer but much more safer, and you'll know what you are doing. It is also a good practice to learn how to compile and install form the scratch.
