If you want to skip compilation and just install it, download Release 1.0, unzip and copy QuickLookASE.qlgenerator to ~/Library/QuickLook/. To reach that folder in Finder, go to your Home, click on the Go menu on the top bar, hold the Option key and Library will magically appear.

Or copy it from a terminal:

cp -R QuickLookASE.qlgenerator ~/Library/QuickLook/

Alternatively, if you use Homebrew-Cask, install with:

brew cask install quicklookase

How to find the UTI of a file:

mdls -name kMDItemContentType MySwatch.ase
