It looks like it works from 10.9 (mavericks), so I think we should be fine. IMHO it's unnecessary to go into any more detail, or to consider the full Xcode install for |

Can we reword this a bit? At the moment it says "On macOS, you will also need -> Xcode -> You also need to install the Xcode Command Line Tools ...".
A full installation of Xcode is not required, so maybe this can be changed to
On macOS, you will also need:
- The
Xcode Command Line Tools...

This seems confusing. Should I run the command line or should I open the GUI and "find them"? (I imagine the answer is "either will work" but I'm not sure that's clear from this text. If xcode-select --install will work everywhere all the time, then maybe let's just leave it at that? Or preface the GUI content with "Alternatively, " so that people know it's one or the other?

Can someone who doesn't have the full XCode installed confirm that this actually works (that is, they can compile node this way)? |
@Trott can confirm I've always used this way. |
@Trott I went with this. Technically you can install both and switch between them with LGTY? |

Text looks good to me. (Left a couple of punctuation nits, but whatever.) I don't know enough about the actual correctness of the content to provide a review/approval. I don't doubt that it's correct, but I'm not knowledgable enough to put a stamp on it. If you and @lpinca both say it's correct, that's good enough for me. |
