How do you properly install the open source version of Intel Thread Building Blocks (TBB) on OS X 10.6? The open source version doesn't seem to have a proper install script.

I found an easy way to install it:

brew install tbb

Requires Homebrew, which is highly recommended for any Mac user wanting to use various open source tools.

As of Jan 15, 2013 the tbb install for brew appears broken. There is a SHA1 mismatch which causes the install to fail. – bhclowers Jan 15 '13 at 18:18

Howdy, try `brew update` first, that fixed the SHA1 mismatch for me. – mike Mar 06 '13 at 02:27
I get `Error: /usr/local/opt/tbb is not a valid keg`. That's after doing `brew update` – Gregory Putzel Mar 14 '17 at 19:05

There is a tutorial for using TBB 2.2 on a Mac without MacPorts/Homebrew. Maybe that's of help for you!
