Sure you do! If you are using OSX, you are using a flavor of Unix (more
BSD than Linux, but much of the core of the OS is similar), and Linux is
similar. Instead of "Software Update" you use "yum" or "apt-get" on the
command line or install a GUI Tool. Instead of more hidden complexities
in OSX, you'll have to install libraries and other such things to get this
working.
