Description
Summary:
Make the installation instructions for RStan
- easier to follow for users, and
- easier for us to diagnose when users have problems.
Description:
- Organize instructions by interface. Have a separate page of instructions for each platform (Windows, Mac OSX, Linux). These can even be broken down by version of OS if they're different in more than one place. It's the combinatorics of the instructions that are daunting.
- Organize instructions as step-by-step checklist.
- Ideally, for each step, provide a way to verify that it was done correctly.
- Even better, provide troubleshooting advice related to checklist items to help users self-diagnose problems and allow us to see at exactly which step things went wrong for user installs.
