[Qgis-user] QGIS 3 OS X/macOS

[Mike Hyslop]

I have to second what Nyall said. Thanks to William for all the work
packaging QGIS.

Some feedback: installation was straightforward and painless. It took less
than 15 minutes start to finish to upgrade to QGIS 3, and I still have
access to python 2 and 3, plus QGIS 2.18 and 3.0. Kudos and thanks!
