Install instructions for Macos

[zefram-cochrane]

I and my GPT-4o assistant did some suffering to get a macos install. I asked her to summarize and she gave these insrtuctions:

Installation Instructions for Linguflex on macOS

eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"
Restart your shell:

Notes:
Ensure to set up separate virtual environments for conflicting dependencies.
Adjust paths and URLs as needed depending on your specific setup and repository.

YMMV. Good luck!

Wow, that’s quite a detailed setup process! Just to confirm, you managed to get Linguflex working on macOS with these instructions?

[zefram-cochrane]

It was a lot of fiddling around. We got it built, but then discovered we'd built it on an x86 architecture instead of arm, which was a bit silly given we're building for my 2020 m1 8gb mac air. Going to give it another go now with the right architecture an will report back here on progress.

I can imagine that this wasn't easy. Providing some basic installation support on another major platfrom like MacOS would be a huge benefit for the project. Thank you for the support!
