I recently needed to install Siege on my MacBookPro. Here’s what I did:
wget ftp://ftp.joedog.org/pub/siege/siege-latest.tar.gz tar -xvf siege-latest.tar.gz cd siege-2.70/ ./configure && make && make install
That’s it! Now you should be able to do something like this:
siege -c50 http://yourserver.com
That will simulate 50 concurrent users hitting that particular URL. After siege runs for a bit, you can hit Ctrl+C to kill it and it will output some handy stats about performance.

On the Mac, do you need to run siege.config and siege -C first? Or is that only on Linux?
@tgharoutunian Nah, that’s all I had to do. It’s a Mac, so obviously it just works 🙂
Also available via homebrew: brew install siege.
