R needs pandoc. pypandoc is a Python wrapper around pandoc, and in most cases you need to separately install pandoc at the system level before you can install pypandoc. The pypandoc README claims that [macOS wheels for pypandoc include pandoc](https://github.com/bebraw/pypandoc#installing-via-pip), but in my experience I have to install pandoc separately with `brew`. pypandoc doesn't even claim to bundle pandoc on Linux. So I doubt this line is really needed. I'm trying to confirm this myself, but the [two `Rscript` lines in the docs README](https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/b1f81f0072b06865ea1fdfe4c510474e64d39cfe/docs/README.md#prerequisites) take so long to run! I'll post an update when I've completed my test. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
