Mac OS X; using home-brew, dnscrypt-proxy. Want to use alternate DNS server such as OpenNIC
I'd like to use CloudNS or OpenNIC with dnscrypt using the dnscrypt-proxy under terminal.
My command line skill is very very basic.
Could you possibly give me step by step instructions to use one of these (or similar) DNS services with dnscrypt, instead of Open DNS?
I'm at the limits of what I can understand with this endeavor, please excuse my ignorance and thanks in advance. :) Thank you.

Step by step? There is just one step...
See http://dnscrypt.org/ under Usage.
dnscrypt-proxy --help
dnscrypt-proxy 1.3.3Options:

fellows; I am getting somewhere.
/usr/local/sbin/dnscrypt-proxy
did indeed help.
ls command replies with:
dnscrypt-proxy
The command I input then was:
/usr/local/sbin/dnscrypt-proxy --resolver-address=113.20.6.2:443 --provider-name=2.dnscrypt-cert.cloudns.com.au --provider-key=1971:7C1A:C550:6C09:F09B:ACB1:1AF7:C349:6425:2676:247F:B738:1C5A:243A:C1CC:89F4
I was replied with:
[INFO] Initializing libsodium for optimal performance
[INFO] Generating a new key pair
[INFO] Done
[ERROR] Unable to bind (UDP) [Permission denied]
Question:
1. what does the error message mean?
2. how can I fix it?
3. how can I then confirm dnscryp-proxy is indeed running and using CloudNS?
Thank you for your patience. I'm sure this will help other Mac users in the future.
