+How to Install Open vSwitch on Mac OSX
+======================================
+
+This document describes how to build and install Open vSwitch on a Apple
+Mac OSX host. Mac OSX support is limited to userspace only at this time.
+
+We have tested this on OSX 10.10 Yosemite
+
+Building Open vSwitch for OSX
+------------------------------
+
+Prerequisties
+-------------
+
+You MUST have the Xcode Command Line utilties installed.
+
+Additionally you should have either Homebrew or MacPorts on your system.
+These instructions assume the former.
+
+Install Autoconf, Automake, Libtool and OpenSSL with the following
+command:
+
+ brew install autoconf automake libtool openssl
+
+Installing
+----------
+
+ ./boot.sh
+ ./configure
+ make && make install
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+> NOTE: Currently the userspace utilities will *only* work with the equivalent
OVS version
+
+Assuming you have an Open vSwitch instance listening on `ptcp:6640`, you can
interact with it as follows:
+
+ ovs-vsctl --db=tcp:192.168.59.103:6640 show
+ ovs-vsctl --db=tcp:192.168.59.103:6640 add-br br0
+ ovs-vsctl --db=tcp:192.168.59.103:6640 set-manager br0 ptcp:6653
+
+ ovs-ofctl -OOpenFlow13 dump-flows tcp:192.168.59.103:6653
