Thanks for the feedback.
With your comments and https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Building_Blender/Mac side-by-side I believe the one correction that could make it clear would be to state that part of the quick setup is required. That at least should ensure you get primed for the advanced section. I have done that now.
Point 2 was an unfortunate moment where you got caught in a short in-between moment where things didn’t work. But that should be fixed already.
