MacOS – To install Pandoc’s manuals

homebrewmacos

I run cabal install pandoc pandoc-citeproc as described in the manual.
I get nothing from man pandoc.
Pandoc exists in brew but I would like to know how you get pandoc by manuals too.
I would like to read man pandoc_markdown.

How can you install pandoc with manuals?

Pandoc 1.15.0.4 was just released, will install the MAN pages during the cabal install process. However, you need to make sure your MANPATH environment variable includes the cabal MAN page directory. (On OSX, this is generally $HOME/Library/Haskell/share/man.) Add to your

~/.bashrc: MANPATH=$HOME/Library/Haskell/share/man:$MANPATH

Yes, create a .bash_profile file in your home directory containing

PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

and then do one of the following to make the change active

execute . ~/.bash_profile
execute PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH" in the current shell
restart Terminal

MacOS – Linking manuals from Homebrew

If you installed Homebrew with standard install directories, i.e. relatives to /usr/local, there are 2 commands to register the binaries and man files to be used:

/usr/bin/sudo -s
echo /usr/local/bin >/etc/paths.d/homebrew
echo /usr/local/share/man >/etc/manpaths.d/homebrew
exit

If you are using bash or zsh as your actual shell, you will have to enter one simple command to take into account these 2 environment modifications:

. /etc/profile

If you want to learn more how these 2 directories are used under MacOS X, read:

man path_helper
