I just checked and it's on brew, so you can just run if you have HomeBrew: brew install sphinx.

I did "brew install sphinx" but when I try something like "make html" then it says the sphinx-build command was not found and that the SPHINXBUILD environment variable must point to the full path of the sphinx-build executable. Where is that? – Rubicksman Jul 28 '15 at 00:39

What wasn't obvious from those instructions was that the main executables would be found in /usr/local/bin/searchd and /usr/local/bin/indexer... I was a bit puzzled after install when I couldn't find anything sphinx in /usr/local/bin.

Worked like a charm. Installed it in /usr/local/bin for me. – benjamin.keen Sep 15 '15 at 15:39
