+      OpenColorIO requires several environment variables to be set.
+      You can source the following script in your shell-startup to do that:
+          #{HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/share/ocio/setup_ocio.sh
+      Alternatively the documentation describes what env-variables need set:
+          http://opencolorio.org/installation.html#environment-variables
+      You will require a config for OCIO to be useful. Sample configuration files
+      and reference images can be found at:
+          http://opencolorio.org/downloads.html
