Clone source code and prepare libraries

Go to BuildPath and run

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew install git automake cmake wget pkg-config gnu-tar

sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

git clone --recursive https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop.git
./tdesktop/Telegram/build/prepare/mac.sh

Building the project

Go to BuildPath/tdesktop/Telegram and run (using your api_id and api_hash)
