I had success with these:

git clone https://github.com/hzeller/timg.git
cd timg/src
brew install GraphicsMagick webp # required libs.
make
make install

Confirmed these steps works on OSX 10.11.6.

When using patched fonts for non-ASCII text (iTerm 3.0.15 , Monaco for Powerline) it's painfully slow, crashing iTerm for bigger image sizes.
Other fixed width fonts works fine.
And for fun Alacritty is awesome with timg, ~0.2s to display a 3000x3000 picture.

Installed and run on MacOS 10.11.6 as per @mooreniemi but the image quality was poor for me. Sticking with imagcat with ITerm2 for now as it results in better default render quality IMHO.
