Update installation; OpenSSL needs Root install #40
Conversation
It took me a few runs to figure out why dependancies were failing at least on OSX, following the instructions, It took a bunch of log checking to figure out that openssl was failing, but was not obvious, as it would error on a different package that was an intermediary. OpenSSL couldn't built without root because of the out-of-R tree it required.

hi, thanks for the info. but this apparently hasn’t been true for me, so it’s probably platform specific. maybe you could instead add the information into the |
Changed the OSX OpenSSL instructions to an aside. May possibly need moving out of current block, but I believe it should be active here because of the tabs stanza.

@flying-sheep on linux it wouldn't apply, as it appears not to on windows. Maybe OSX and windows should be separated? The |

please don’t add quit() and how to start an R interpreter. people know how to do that 😉

about your concerns for platform-specific instructions: maybe we should just switch to a UI where people select their platform and if the want a non-standard install (e.g. dev versions), and only then show instructions |

hi, why did you close this? it just needed a few changes to be merged |
|
@flying-sheep oh, I was trying to clean up my laundry list of PR's, and didn't realize it was still of interest. But if it is still relevant, I will re-open, I had a huge project sent out and was trying to id things of interest still to upstream. reopen |

thank you! would you like to do the requested changes or should i just close this and make the edits manually? |
