+To install Oclgrind, simply copy the bin, lib and include directories
+to (for example) /usr/local/, ensuring that file modification times
+are preserved. The easiest way to do this is with the following
+command:
+
+    sudo cp -rp {bin,lib,include} /usr/local
+
+Alternatively, Oclgrind can be used from a non-system directory. To do
+so, add $OCLGRIND_ROOT/bin to your PATH environment variable, and
+$OCLGRIND_ROOT/lib to your DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable
+(where $OCLGRIND_ROOT is the directory containing this file). If
+copying Oclgrind to a new location, ensure that the -p flag is passed
+to cp, to ensure that file modification times are preserved.

+Information about using Oclgrind can be found on the GitHub wiki page:
