+   You will need the `XCode <https://developer.apple.com/xcode/>`_ Developer
+   Tools from Apple. This free download from the Mac App Store will provide the
+   clang compiler needed for the installation of pygit2.

+   This section was tested on OS X 10.9 Mavericks and OS X 10.10 Yosemite with

+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   $ brew update
+   $ brew install libgit2
+   $ pip3 install pygit2
+
+If the installation of pygit2 is aborted, you might need to export the libgit2
+path before rerunning pip3:
