Description
Summary:
Right now there is a wiki page:
https://github.com/stan-dev/rstan/wiki/RStan-Mojave-Mac-OS-X-Prerequisite-Installation-Instructions
about a particular aspect of Mac OS X installation. Can we roll that into the basic install instructions?
https://github.com/stan-dev/rstan/wiki/RStan-Getting-Started
Otherwise, I fear people won't find it. Right now, there's a bunch of links from Mac OS:
-
https://github.com/stan-dev/rstan/wiki/RStan-Getting-Started says "If you use a Mac, a link will appear but do not click on it. Instead go here", and here links to
-
https://github.com/stan-dev/rstan/wiki/Installing-RStan-from-source-on-a-Mac#prerequisite--c-toolchain-and-configuration, which has two options for more instructions
3a. (not Mojave?) https://github.com/coatless/r-macos-rtools#how-do-i-use-the-installer
3b. Mojave: https://thecoatlessprofessor.com/programming/r-compiler-tools-for-rcpp-on-macos/
I don't see any links to the above Wiki on instruction.

Research direction
Compare the RStan-Getting-Started and Installing-RStan-from-source-on-a-Mac wiki pages with the RStan-Mojave-Mac-OS-X-Prerequisite-Installation-Instructions page. Start by tracing the existing Mac links and determine where the Mojave guidance belongs. Done means the relevant instructions are available from the basic install page without requiring users to discover a separate wiki page.
