MacOS – How to install coqide (or such) with brew

homebrewinstallmacos

I went into a lot of troubles getting coq installed on my Mac (Mavericks) and it actually didn't install coqide along…

Unfortunately 'brew options coq' has no results so I don't know how to install properly coqide.

If it's too complicated, it's fine, I'd welcome any alternate solution (like a sublime text plugin or such).

Thanks.

The same bug (in the existing released binary) is reported here:

and in the comments a link to recent builds is given:

I don't know about stability, but 8.4pl4 appears to be working on Mavericks. I was able to build/install following README instructions (might additionally require install of OCaml and other tools, which I happened to already have.) The associated coqide also appears to be working without trouble.

I am not a seasoned Coq user, so if there are any functionality or stability considerations in this non-published version, then they would be going far over my head.
