Here is the cheapest route for fastening the wire to your end posts. Aluminum Oval Crimping Sleeve. You'll need a swaging tool to crimp them. The link is the cheapest one I could find.
What you'll do on your end posts is drill two holes per line, vertical of each other (edit: side by side would be stronger, but might not look as nice, your call on this). Make them about 1/2"-1" apart. Feed the cable through one and back through the other and crimp it together. You'll need some help on one end of the railing to make sure you get it really tight before crimping.
The other option is this Atlantis rail stuff that you're probably seen, it's expensive.
Tensioners: These go on only one side of each cable run.
Achors: These go on the other side of each cable run.
You only need 1 tensioner per line.
