Sorry it has take us so long, most of us are simply not using the quick setup so I have removed it.

I think it is kind of fair to require a “long setup” from people on osx cause so much personal taste is at play.

For ultra quick setups we have:

> [@Install Discourse for development using Docker](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-for-development-using-docker/102009):
>
> Developing using Docker Since Discourse runs in Docker, you should be able to run Discourse directly from your source directory using a Discourse development container. white_check_mark Pros: No need to install any system dependencies, no configuration needed at all for setting up a development environment quickly. x Cons: Will be slightly slower than the native dev environment on Ubuntu, and much slower than a native install on MacOS.
