-Dependencies are built by `scripts/build_deps.sh` on first run.
+Linux/Windows dependencies are built by `scripts/build_deps.sh` on first run.
+The macOS build uses Homebrew dependencies — install them once with
+`brew install libuv hwloc openssl@3`. libuv/hwloc/OpenSSL are linked statically,
+so the resulting binary runs on stock macOS without Homebrew.
