Comment (by thomaslee101):

 thanks for the quick reply! i followed your instructions and it worked!
 turns out i should have downloaded the gmic-gimp port instead! in case
 anyone is interested, here are the complete steps that i used to install
 gmic

 1) install macport

 2) install Xquartz (?) (i already have Xquartz preinstalled. previous
 version of gmic for mac needed Xquartz, not sure if the current version of
 gmic for MAC needs this as well)

 3) install gmic-gimp.

 https://ports.macports.org/port/gmic-gimp/

 3) add path to plugins in GIMP under  GIMP -> Settings -> Folders -> Plug-
 ins

 /opt/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins

 optional: move this folder to the 1st line using the ^ button.

 4) restart GIMP
