how I got FlatCAM 8.1 working on OS X [a long time ago — see comment thread for lots of good tips from others!]
Raw
install_flatcam.sh
brew update
brew install pyqt geos spatialindex
easy_install pip
pip install virtualenv
cd Development/Others\'/
mkdir FlatCAM
cd FlatCAM
virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install numpy matplotlib rtree scipy shapely simplejson
# copy contents of FlatCAM_8.1.zip into FlatCAM folder
python FlatCAM.py

After that I get the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ezdxf.math.vector'

This was fixed on the Beta branch in this commit

I'm currently in the process of getting FlatCAM build with MacPorts.

I finally got it all working, but it will still take some time until I got all newly created port files for flatcams dependencies into shape to get them into the upstream macports repo.

One thing I wanted to share here, though: The problem with

AttributeError: module 'vispy.visuals.markers' has no attribute '_marker_dict' error

is due to a "patch" in appGui/VisPyPatches.py, which has long been available in upstream VisPy. So lines 16-34 in this file can safely be removed and then flatcam also runs with newer (i.e., > 0.9.0) vispy versions.
