I tried to use Oasis on one of my projects. I got stuck at the very begining. I am on MacOS, there is no binary installer, and no instructions for MacOS users. It told me a bunch of dependencies were unsatisfied when I tried to compile. It would be useful to write a line or two about how to satisfy all the dependecies, for example: "If you are compiling Oasis from source, it is easiest to satisfy all the dependencies by installing them via GODI" (if that's even true). Even better: provide a binary installer for MacOS. With kind regards, Andrej
