Cannot install macOS High Seirra about heimer

Hi,

AppImage is a generic packaging format for Linux. Unfortunately there are no packages for macOS as I don't have a Mac. However, you should still be able to build the application from sources for Mac. Only the Qt SDK is needed.

For the record, I was able to get this to work on OSX (macOS). I installed qt5 via brew and then I had to find the qt5 cmake directory and link it to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:

sudo find / -name Qt5Core

From here I took the path provided and updated my CMAKE_PATH_PREFIX:

export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/qt/5.15.0/lib/cmake:$CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH

When running cmake via the readme instructions, I had to ignore some development logging errors using the following command:

cmake -Wno-dev ..

After that was done I followed the directions here. Once installed, I had a file called heimer that I could execute through the cli:

./heimer

That's right, one should be able to build and run Heimer on OS X without any problems. I just don't use OS X myself so never tested that.
