Dear AndrewBrin,

have you installed Xcode and additionally Xcode command line tools?
To run use the testing environment, you need a C++ compiler.
You may can test it, if you type
whereis c++

in your terminal. Your answer should look similar to this:
/usr/bin/c++

Afterwards you can try the examples from the documentation by simply changing g++ to c++.
If ./runner will not work, you may mark your program as executable. Therefore you can type:
chmod u+x runner

@atomgalaxy Yeah this is really stupid

This is probably safe to close, but for others looking for this I was able to install this using Homebrew.

brew install CxxTest

Sorry, I assumed because of the age and lack of responses.

Did you try to install it via brew?

Andrew,

We need to know more about your environment in order to help you. In general, getting something like CxxTest to work requires understanding of how to run code generators from your build environment. Helping with that is something we can try to do (and we do provide integration scripts for various build tools), but ultimately, you need to know how to run python from your makefiles (or other).
