Add a "macOS Dependencies" subsection to the Development section of the README that provides guidance for macOS developers who may encounter issues with PostgreSQL and MySQL gem dependencies.

The instructions include:

  • Installing required libraries via Homebrew (mysql, libpq)
  • Configuring Bundler with correct paths for native extensions
  • Steps to complete the installation process

This should help future developers avoid dependency issues when setting up the project on macOS systems.

Description:


Tasks:

This is just an update to the README.md to address potential issues developers running macOS might experience when getting setup to contribute to the project.

I will abide by the code of conduct.
