Does this have a check to make sure they are using bash/sh as their
shell?    This single issue of setting up the users path was the
biggest roadblock in my head for supporting a MacOS installer.    I am
mildly concerned how well this works in practice....but I imagine that
the python installer must have debugged the issues involved with this
for some time....hopefully we can piggyback off of it?
