Instructions
These are instructions for how to get the HackRF working with a Macbook Pro running OS X.
Download KB1OIQ Andy's Ham Radio Linux
Start by downloading Andy's Ham Radio Linux. This is a Debian distribution with a slew of useful radio programs, including NEC, the antenna simulation software. This also comes with gnuradio, gqrx, and other useful sdr tools, so this is a good candidate operating system to get the HackRF working.
Alternatively, you can use Pentoo, which is recommended by the HackRF folks, or Kali, although I understand some people have had a harder time with SDR after the January 2016 rolling release of Kali. You can also use the Gnu Radio Companion virtualbox provided by the Gnu Radio project, which runs Ubuntu.

Install KB1OIQ Linux
Once you've downloaded Andy's Ham Radio Linux and run it, you'll see that it is relatively spartan - it's using icewm, good for older, junky machines. Everything has an early 90s feel. You can take a look around at all the programs available:
