added path and brew to this - it's correct but could be much more helpful with more details other than hers's the code - let's drop a binary and hope you know the rest

@jmh, macOS High Sierra and macOS Mojave both ship with GNU nano 2.0.6 in /usr/bin/. You or someone else installed GNU nano 3.0.

By default, this will not compile on macOS unless one installs either Command Line Developer Tools for Xcode or Xcode. You also need to use: sudo make install
