Description
Per @david-crespo, this script does not run on macOS.
As a workaround, one can lie to the script about the OS version it's running on and compile the necessary packages to build and run omicron:
cat ../omicron-install-dendrite.sh
#! /usr/bin/env bash
OSTYPE=linux-gnu tools/ci_download_dendrite_stub
BIN_DIR="$(pwd)/out/dendrite-stub/root/opt/oxide/dendrite/bin"
cd ~/oxide/dendrite
cargo build -p dpd --features tofino_stub --release
cargo build -p swadm --release
cp target/release/dpd "$BIN_DIR/dpd"
cp target/release/swadm "$BIN_DIR/swadm"
echo "now add the dir to your path"
echo ""
echo " export PATH=\"$BIN_DIR:\$PATH\""
The reason the script fails is that dendrite does not build binaries for mac: oxidecomputer/dendrite#223.

Research direction
Start by reading and running tools/ci_download_dendrite_stub on macOS, then compare its behavior with the OSTYPE=linux-gnu workaround and the listed dendrite Rust builds. Done means the script works on macOS without the workaround and prepares the dendrite binaries needed by omicron.
