+Getting Started on macOS
+========================
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+* `XCode`_ 8.2 (macOS 10.11), 8.3.3 (macOS 10.12), 9 (macOS 10.13), 10.1 (macOS 10.14)
+* ``sphinx`` package for the documentation (optional).
+* Depending on your OS, the following dependencies might also be required:
+
+  * ``libgl-dev``, ``python-dev``, and ``python-setuptools``.
+
+* Check the platform dependencies of `Qt for macOS`_.
+
+.. _XCode: https://developer.apple.com/xcode/
+.. _`Qt for macOS`: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/macos.html
+
+Building from source
+--------------------
+
+Creating a virtual environment
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``venv`` module allows you to create a local, user-writeable copy of a python environment into
+which arbitrary modules can be installed and which can be removed after use::
+
+    python -m venv testenv  # your interpreter could be called 'python3'
+    source testenv/bin/activate
+
+will create and use a new virtual environment, which is indicated by the command prompt changing.
+
+Setting up CLANG
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If you don't have libclang already in your system, you can download from the Qt servers::
+
+    wget https://download.qt.io/development_releases/prebuilt/libclang/libclang-release_140-based-macos-universal.7z
+
+Extract the files, and leave it on any desired path, and set the environment
+variable required::
+
+    7z x libclang-release_140-based-macos-universal.7z
+    export LLVM_INSTALL_DIR=$PWD/libclang
+
+Getting PySide
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Cloning the official repository can be done by::
+
+    git clone https://code.qt.io/pyside/pyside-setup
+
+Checking out the version that we want to build, for example, 6.5::
+
+    cd pyside-setup && git checkout 6.5
+
+Install the general dependencies::
+
+    pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+.. note:: Keep in mind you need to use the same version as your Qt installation
+
+Building PySide
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Check your Qt installation path, to specifically use that version of qtpaths to build PySide.
+for example, ``/opt/Qt/6.5.0/gcc_64/bin/qtpaths``.
+
+Build can take a few minutes, so it is recommended to use more than one CPU core::
+
+    python setup.py build --qtpaths=/opt/Qt/6.5.0/gcc_64/bin/qtpaths --build-tests --ignore-git --parallel=8
+
+Installing PySide
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To install on the current directory, just run::
+
+    python setup.py install --qtpaths=/opt/Qt/6.5.0/gcc_64/bin/qtpaths --build-tests --ignore-git --parallel=8
+
+Test installation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can execute one of the examples to verify the process is properly working.
+Remember to properly set the environment variables for Qt and PySide::
+
+    python examples/widgets/widgets/tetrix.py
