 Note: For FreeBSD, use 'gmake' instead.
 
+Note: On MacOS (Big Sur) follow the following procedure. If you have installed `xschem` and `magic` already on MacOS then steps (1) and (2) can likely be skipped.
+
+**1) Build Tcl for X11**
+
+We are following the instructions from `xschem` (https://github.com/StefanSchippers/xschem/blob/master/README_MacOS.md). 
+
+* Download `Tcl` from https://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/tcl8.6.10-src.tar.gz
+
+We are using not `opt` but `opt2` so that this `Tcl` does not interfere with `tcl-tk` from HomeBrew.
+
+```
+./configure --prefix=/usr/local/opt2/tcl-tk  
+make
+make install
+```
+
+**2) Build Tk for X11**
+
+* Download `Tk` from https://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/tk8.6.10-src.tar.gz
