AFAIK, you cannot directly install Visual Studio on MAC. Visual Studio is a Windows application and thus it will not run directly on Mac OS.

Though, you can use some sort of virtual machine softwarre like VMWare to run Windows on Mac, and in the virtual environment you can install and use VS.
Another option, you can try using Apple BootCamp and install Windows on Mac as a dual boot environment.

One option is to use Apple BootCamp and install Windows on Mac as a dual boot environment or use some virtualisation software such as VMWare Fusion.

You can also check the following link, in which users have shared their thoughts on using VS with MAC OS:
