Installing GnuPG onto OSX. If you are using Enigmail to provide your mail client (such as Thunderbird) with PGP signing, etc., this should help you out.

Get latest version of GnuPG

The latest version of GnuPG is 2.1.6. I located that here:
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/
I like to use curl to grab the package. Unpack the directory. You can try to build it right away, but most likely there will be additional libraries that need to be installed first (keep reading..)

curl -O ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.1.6.tar.bz2

To build this, you will need the latest versions of the following modules also installed, before you can start to build out the GnuPG.

Getting the required per-requesites

• You need libgpg-error

location: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgpg-error

• You need libgcrypt

location: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/

• You need libassuan

location: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libassuan/

• You need libksba

location: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libksba/

• You need nPth

location: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/npth/
