To install the mod, you then run "modman.exe" (or just modman, as I understand Mac hides file extensions) - you'll find that in your main FTL folder as well, after you install.

Grognak's been pretty good about helping people get his manager working, so read through the above thread if you start running into problems - I use WinXP myself and haven't got more than a very basic understanding of Mac systems.

.exe's are Windows programs, they don't work on mac. On mac it is a bit different(more complicated at the moment):
-Dowload the latest version of Python 2.7 for your system. Actually a version of Python SHOULD come shipped with your Mac, but in my case not everything was properly installed, so it's better if you install it yourself.
-Install Python(it's a normal pkg inside of a dmg, that should be pretty straightforward)
-Download the mod loader and unzip it anywhere.
-Go to the /src folder inside of that zip.
-Double click the file "easygui-version0.96.tar" to uncompress it. You'll have a folder named like that.
-Open a Terminal.app window(the Terminal is in Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
-type in the terminal "sudo python", a space, drag the easygui folder, another space, and install. Press Intro.
-You'll be asked for a password: use the admin's password(the one you use to install things). While you tipe no letters will be showed on the terminal: that's normal. Press Intro.
-Now find the your FTL app. If you use the DRM-free version, it's the app you use to run FTL: on Steam, just go to the finder, press Shift+Cmd+G and type "~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common", find the folder of FTL and you'll find the app inside.
-Right click the app and click "Show package contents".
-A new window should have opened. Go to the "Contents" folder.
-Copy the "modman.ini" file and the "mods" folder from the mod manager folder to the Contents folder.
-Go inside the /src folder(it's in the mod manager folder) and copy everything inside to the Contents folder.
-The manager is installed. To run it, run "main.py". Double clicking should suffice: if it doesn't, type "python " on a terminal window, drag the main.py, and press Enter. Note that to use a mod you must put it on the mods folder first.
-I'd make an alias of both the main.py and the mods folder and put it somewhere handy, like on the Documents folder(you can actually put them in the Dock if you want, just in the side of the files/folders).

If you want help with anything, post it here.

EDIT:
I fixed the error message issue, but now when I doubleclick "main.py" inside the contents folder, it simply opens up the script and does nothing.

Could you please copy-paste here the text of the terminal window that opens when double clicking "main.py"?
