1. Go to https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action and search for "Command line tools" and choose the one for your Mac OSX
1. Go to http://brew.sh/ and enter the one-liner into the Terminal, you now have `brew` installed (a better Mac ports)
1. Install transmission-daemon with
	```
	brew install transmission
	```
	
1. Copy the startup config for launchctl with
	```
	ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/transmission/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
	```
	
	If transmission isn't starting, you also might need to modify the startup `plist` file:

	`~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.transmission.plist` at the line:
	
	`<key>NetworkState</key>` to `<key>RunAtLoad</key>`
	
1. Start transmission (will then always auto-start) with
	```
	launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.transmission.plist
	```
	
1. Change settings (I set rpc auth to false) with
	```
	nano /usr/local/var/transmission/settings.json
	```
	
1. Visit http://127.0.0.1:9091/transmission/web/ and you're done
