Can't figure out output character encoding for MeCab

Question

I'm trying to parse some Japanese text, and I can't seem to figure out the output encoding.

This is the output I'm getting:

これは ̾��,����,*,*,*,*,*
本   ̾��,����,*,*,*,*,*
です  ̾��,����,*,*,*,*,*
。   ̾��,������³,*,*,*,*,*
EOS

Steps I took:

1. git clone https://github.com/taku910/mecab
2. cd mecab/mecab
3. ./configure --enable-utf8-only --with-charset=utf8
4. make
5. sudo make install
6. mecab -o ~/Desktop/output.txt ~/Desktop/input.txt, where input.txt contains "これは本です。"
