title: Mac OSX - Allow for user input in shell script via GUI or Prompt
body: <p>I created a shell script which requires a person to input their name and then generates a report. The script works as needed when <code>chmod</code>ed into an executable script and run from terminal. But, I would like to deploy it and have it be a double click kind of solution instead of instructing people to run it from terminal.</p>
  
  <p>I tried wrapping the script in Platypus, which makes it easy to launch. But it doesn't allow for input from the user, which is critical.</p>
  
  <p>I just found <code>cocoaDialog</code>, but my main concern is whether it will provide the functionality I need and do so without having everyone else install it.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone ever been in this situation or can offer any pointers?</p>
