    Doug,

    XEP is instantly available in any environment that provides java 1.1.8
    or newer. The installer is a java program, all you need to run it
    is to execute java -jar setup35_*.jar. XEP itself is a java program
    too, instead of relying on scripts you can simply set correct classpath
    and execute

    java com.renderx.xep.XSLDriver

    Moreover,

    Mac OS X is a BSD Unix with MacOS-like user interface. That is, Unix
    shell scripts will work just fine with Mac OS X; and the installer
    does create the scripts (xep.sh). All you need is to install XEP in
    the usual way.
