I've tried to find a good guide on how to overcome this that also looks trustworthy but I've had no luck.
Can someone explain what

The easiest way to install the GPG command line tools on your Mac is to first install Homebrew, a package management system that makes thousands of software packages available for install on your Mac.

GnuPG (with binary name
gpg
) is an application used for public key encryption using the OpenPGP protocol, but also verification of signatures (cryptographic signatures, that also can validate the publisher if used correctly). To some extend, you could say it's for OpenPGP what OpenSSL is for X.509 and TLS.Unlike most Linux distributions (which make heavy use of GnuPG for ensuring untampered software within their package repositories), Mac OS X does not bring GnuPG with the operating system, so you have to install it on your own.
Possible sources are:
- Package manager Homebrew:
brew install gnupg gnupg2
- Package manager MacPorts:
sudo port install gnupg gnupg2
- Install from GPGTools, which also brings GUI applications and integration in Apple Mail

This is hardly a gpg specific question, it should be asked an OSX systems support section, however, I will answer the best I can, but specific only to the installing GPGTools for OSX (the process for installing other dmg/pkg's on OSX might differ).
GPGTools should now be installed.
