[Qgis-user] problem tying to run Orfeo toolbox...

[William Kyngesburye]

Looks like you need the Orfeo Toolbox, ie just what the plugin is named for.  Try searching for "orfeo toolbox" - that turns up orfeo-toolbox.org immediately.

Unfortunately I don't see any Mac binaries there for the toolbox or the python interface.  You must compile them from source.  From a quick look, it looks like quite an effort to compile (almost as much code as Qgis itself, plus yet another GUI toolbox [fltk] as a dependency, though that can be disabled, I don't know if the python interface or the Qgis plugin uses it).
