Graphics Magick installation on Mac El Capitan 10.11.3 for TYPO3

I'm frustrated. I'm a total beginner in this (TYPO3), know well about HTML/CSS though but all the info I found on the web reads like Chinese for me. Like that one: http://mac-dev-env.patrickbougie.com/graphicsmagick/

I have no clue what that means!

I've downloaded GM, extracted the zip and double-clicked the configure file. The installation finished without any problems (as far as I can tell).

So here's the ting: can anybody please tell me, how this sort of installation is suppossed to be completed? I need it from the very beginning, actually from unpacking the zip.

Do I have to have another program, like this terminal program on the Mac, where you have to type in command lines? Do I have to write or edit code somewhere? Do I need to create folders? Where, in the TYPO3-Backend, can I check if it even works?

TYPO3 is installed and it works perfectly so far. THANKS A LOT! :)

PS: I really like to learn this (!), but my head is bumping right now :(

As @Oles Savluk pointed easiest way to install such stuff is using homebrew. When you'll install it already, open new terminal window and use command which gm to find the path it will be i.e.: /usr/local/bin/gm - copy/write it and use in the TYPO3's Install Tool in proper place.

Easy way:

If you want to "just install" GM I suggest you to use one of OS X package managers like homebrew or macports. They can simplify configuration, building and installation process for you. So you'll only need to open Terminal and type (depending on chosen package manager):

brew install graphicsmagick or port install graphicsmagick

To verify that your installation is successful open Terminal and type gm version, as result you should see version and other details of your installation.

Fundamental way:

If you want learn how to build and install GM from sources, I recommend you to start reading official documentation. And then, by the way, read about "Make" and other tools used in build process.
