-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)`.
+
+_Note:_ `osm2pgsql` expects the default style file at `C:/libs/share/osm2pgsql/default.style`. In order to avoid an error message use <code>--style <em><osm2pgsql directory></em>\default.style</code> or run the following commands once:
+* `mkdir C:\libs\share`
+* <code>mklink /D C:\libs\share\osm2pgsql "<em><osm2pgsql directory></em>"</code> 

I think that this is too detailed. Users who know what they are doing, don't need this instruction. All other users should just stick to adding `--style FILE` to every invocation of Osm2pgsql.
