I tried to create the original ACES 1.0.3 config from the included python folder via the 'create_aces_config' tool on my Mac. To do that, I installed all necessary tools via 'homebrew' (like 'ctl') and especially OCIO like it's mentioned on the website: 'brew install opencolorio --with-python'
Unfortunately the 'create_aces_config' script won't run successfully because it can't find the tool 'ociolutimage'. Would be cool if the homebrew version of OCIO would install all the tools that are available in 'https://github.com/imageworks/OpenColorIO/tree/master/src/apps', so it would be easy to create the ACES reference config easily on your own.
