OSX install. Tested on 10.8 Mountain Lion so should work on earlier

1. Download the XAMPP installer for OSX from http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/ and run it
Unlike windows this wont allow to uncheck unneeded items.
This will automatically run apache and open with test web server page

2. Open the file /Applications/XAMPP/etc/php.ini (true path /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/php.ini) and remove the leading semi-colon from the line reading ;extension=php_openssl.dll. Save the file.

3. If you don't have git installed download it at http://git-scm.com/downloads/ and run it not
xcode doesn't install command line version if you happen to have that installed already

4. Run the following commands one by one in terminal

cd /Applications/XAMPP/htdocs
git clone git://github.com/Jalle19/xbmc-video-server.git
cd xbmc-video-server
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -d detect_unicode=Off
php -d detect_unicode=Off composer.phar install
./src/protected/yiic createinitialdatabase
./src/protected/yiic setpermissions

5. Open /Applications/XAMPP/manager-osx.app and restart apache

6. Test run visit http://localhost/xbmc-video-server/
