System Requirements / How to Run Pandoc on Older Mac OS X

Hi all,
  I'm nursing an older MacBook that's stuck at 10.7.5.  The latest .pkg 
installer balks at my machine, presumably because it's too old (though it 
doesn't state that explicitly).  The homebrew install fails, too, 
explicitly complaining about old OS.

  I looked around the pandoc.org site and at github for system requirements 
but didn't find any.  Is there a way to tell which old version will work on 
this machine?  And how to obtain that compatible, older .pkg installer?

thx
jake

Depending on exactly what MacBook you have, this old post of mine might 
help you:

It's been years years since Pandoc has released an installer capable of 
running on 10.7, but the program itself might run for you.

Note this only helps if you're machine is actually 64-bit.

I can’t build pandoc on 10.8.
The haskell version installed is too old, a more recent version does not work.

I’m now on 10.10 and everything works.

You may want to look for a pandoc version from early 2015 (pre yosemite).
Or just go back to the most recent version of any major release until one works.

I wonder if the portable executables will help: https://github.com/pandoc-extras/pandoc-portable/releases
