-Unoffical builds for Windows are available from [AppVeyor](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/openstreetmap/osm2pgsql/history) but you need to find the right build artifacts. The latest
-release is [0.92.0](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/openstreetmap/osm2pgsql/artifacts/osm2pgsql_Release.zip?tag=0.92.0).
+**macOS**: osm2pgsql is available with [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/).

+**Windows**: Unoffical builds are available from [AppVeyor](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/openstreetmap/osm2pgsql/history). The latest
+release is [0.94.0](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/openstreetmap/osm2pgsql/artifacts/osm2pgsql_Release.zip?tag=0.94.0). Just unzip the archive into a directory of your choice. You may need Admnistrator permissions in order to unzip into `C:\Program Files (x86)`.

The sentence "You may need Admnistrator […]" is not necessary. That's obvious. Users who don't know these very basics of permission management on Windows are often also unable to use the command line and therefore unable to use Osm2pgsql.
