+We offer DMG installers for PulseView that contain everything you need to get started. Simply download
+them from the https://sigrok.org/wiki/Downloads[sigrok download page] and run them.
 
+Please be aware, however, that the DMG installers are built every night, so they always contain
+the latest development changes. While we do try to keep the code base in a working state, it is sometimes
+unavoidable to introduce bugs that show up in the nightly builds. If you encounter something that is
+odd to you, please download and install the latest nightly and check if the issue still exists. If it
+does, feel free to https://sigrok.org/bugzilla/[file a bug].
