I am looking for the equivalent of FWTools for Mac OS X, Lion. Is there anything I can easily install and get that command?

ogr2ogr
is part of the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL).
- Get homebrew from http://brew.sh
brew install gdal
You can find Mac GDAL downloads here: http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/archive#gdal OGR and the associated utilities (i.e ogr2ogr and ogrinfo) are included with GDAL.
Taking the information from the above, here's how you would actually get the ogr2ogr command working like it should
add this to your
~/.bash_profile
script:export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/1.[YOURVERSIONHERE]/Programs/:$PATH
the above code also adds a bunch of other gdal libraries to your path as well

Try restarting your computer after you add this to your path. And if that doesn't work, try adding a manual PATH variable to the QGIS settings page: gis.stackexchange.com/questions/285832/… Nov 7, 2018 at 4:57

@plnnr not necessary. To reload ~/.bash_profile just reload a new terminal or run
source ~/.bash_profile
