Re: Issue with installing port

"sudo port install pandoc -stack" worked, so I'm good. Dunno what stack is useful for besides building pandoc (looks like some haskell build tool), but I don't think I need it either. Thanks! Will On 1/25/23 4:55 PM, Will Senn wrote: sudo port install pandoc is what I

Re: Co-existance of MacPorts and Brew?
