Err, sorry I don't understand how does "CleanMyMac" have any effect upon the content of the LyX wiki? The wiki entry for Mac points direct to an FTP directory for MacTeX (the package is 1.2Gb) others have suggested that there are smaller (streamlined) packages available but anyone looking at the LyX wiki isn't going to know that. We don't all have perfect knowledge.
And if one wants to boast LyX is installed here on a MacMini Server with 8Gb and 1Tb of disk storage. And on a 120Gb Macbook Pro.
