Hey Miles,

While being the in the installed directory, running './nmap' should work 
(along with 'sudo ./nmap' too of course).  I've never used OS X before, 
but this should work.

Just doing 'nmap' should work if you installed to a directory in $PATH, 
so I'm assuming you installed it in your home directory or somewhere 
similar.  You could add that directory to $PATH if you'd like.

Thanks,
Kris Katterjohn
