Could not find Doxygen (missing: DOXYGEN_EXECUTABLE) in Mac OS X

I want to install meta on my Mac OS X. I have OS X 10.9.3, and I received the following errors:

   DICU_ROOT=/usr/local/opt/icu4c

Doxygen isn't install by default; use [macports](http://macports.org) to install it. — trojanfoe, Apr 24 '15 at 12:49
