Unable to install GDK on fresh install of Mac OS
Problem Statement
I nuked my laptop and installed a fresh Mac OS on it, then I went thru the process to install the GDK, and I was not able to proceed. It gave me various errors depending on which install method I used.

Reach
Anyone installing GDK on a new system?
Maybe:
1.5 = Small reach (~5% to ~25%).
Impact
0.5 = Low impact
Confidence
I'm not sure who else is having the problem, but I always have problems with the GDK, I am not smart.
50% = Low confidence
Effort
This is probably a 1
. Maybe a documentation issue... Or fixing the one line install to resolve conditions like this.
