| Note that some of the R dependencies are not available as pre-compiled binaries for some operating systems and architectures. If the command above fails, follow [the step below](#install-r-dependencies) to build the R dependencies on your system. | |||

Note that the conda environment is also not complete. Even if you use this, you still need to run the R install instructions from below. However, without pre-installing most (indirect) dependencies, this takes ages.

Yes, I wanted to stress the fact that even if this fails (like on OS X with Intel processor, for which r-BayesialTools is not available), you could still go ahead and compile the binaries in the following step. But I have tried to make this more explicit, do you think it is clearer now?

Yes! I agree the clarification was needed/helpful. My only concern was that the previous formulation seemed to suggest that the next steps weren't necessary if this step worked. The new text is much better, thanks
Hopefully making the installation of R dependencies more robust.
