A way to install Ubuntu Touch from Mac OS X has been revealed by Canonical, in an effort to reach out to more users.

It seems that there are a lot of people out there with Nexus 4 devices and Mac OS X operating systems, so something had to be done. Canonical published a comprehensive tutorial which should be more than sufficient.

“Ubuntu has long provided tools that made it easy to install the new Ubuntu phone images to your device, taking care of finding the right images and latest versions for you. While this worked great, it was only available to current users of the Ubuntu desktop. But now Ubuntu engineer Alex Chiang has provided a set of instructions for getting the same easy installation options on Mac OSX,” reads the announcement.

Currently, the installation of Ubuntu Touch on Ubuntu systems is pretty straightforward, but we’re waiting for our Mac OS X friends to join the party.
