Does anyone know exactly what to type in the terminal to get it to install?

Answer 1

Xamarin Studio may be installed using Homebrew.

For Mac and Windows, you can download Xamarin Studio which is a bundle of MonoDevelop along with Xamarin iOS/Android plugins and branding.

– Download | MonoDevelop.

There is a Homebrew Cask for Xamarin Studio.
The installation can be done as follows:

$ brew install Caskroom/cask/xamarin-studio

Answer 2

The recently updated Mono 1.2.6 package for MacOS X contains Imendio's Native Gtk+ for OSX, Gtk# and MonoDevelop 0.18.1 with Mac support. It is now available from Mono's downloads page.

It appears that you have to run all three of these installs to get it to work:

• Mono 2.2_5 Framework - Universal
• MonoDevelop 2.0 Alpha 2
• Cocoa# 0.9.4 source
