move wiki-based OS X Mojave instructions to install page #704

Open bob-carpenter opened 5 years ago

bob-carpenter commented 5 years ago

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:

  1. 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

  2. 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.

AFAIK, the "RStan-Mojave-Mac-OS-X-Prerequisite-Installation-Instructions" wiki page is not actually necessary. Is there anyone (not on Catalina) for which https://github.com/rmacoslib/r-macos-rtools/releases/tag/v3.0.0 is insufficient?
