The instructions are not very clear on how to install the software for Kinect for Mac. So can someone please explain how to install OpenNI, NITE, and the Kinect Server.

If you need help, you should try explaining what your problem is a bit better. Right now it seems like you are asking for someone to re-write the instructions completely from scratch. No-one is going to do that for you. How about explaining what part of the instructions you find confusing?

For the instructions: "download them, unzip them, and then in a Terminal, go into the unzipped directory and run sudo ./install.sh", I downloaded them, unzipped them, but the part that says to go into the unzipped directory, I have no idea what to do in that part. Maybe you can explain what to do at this point? (I'm completely new to this stuff, so it's still pretty new to me.)

Ok, that's fine. By "go into a directory" it means change into that directory using the "cd" command. You would type: cd /Users/davmac/kinectserver-1.2 (assuming you unzipped the file directly into your home directory; perhaps use /Users/davmac/Downloads/kinectserver-1.2 if you unzipped it into your downloads folder, for example). Then continue with the commands specified in the documentation - that is: ./configure --with-boost=/opt/local/include --with-wx-config=/opt/local/bin/wx-config --with-wx-prefix=/opt/local make sudo make install (Note there are three separate commands - you type the first one, then wait for it to finish, and then type the second one, and so on. You must type them exactly as they appear).
