You can try this one:
http://alan.petitepomme.net/unison/assets/Unison-OS-X-2.48.15.zip

It has been modified to install the command line tool in the correct
place.

The cltool binary is small because all it does is ask the Finder about
where the Unison app is, and start is. What you could do is copy cltool
as /usr/local/bin/unison.

The simplest approach may be to recompile the command line version of
unison. It's available in homebrew, for instance:

% brew info unison
unison: stable 2.48.3 (bottled)
Unison file synchronizer
https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/
Not installed
From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/unison.rb
==> Dependencies
Build: ocaml ✔

Hope this helps,

Alan
