title: How to install Mono on macOS so mono works in terminal?
body: <p>I'm trying to get a Mono install running on a mac (OS X version 10.10.5), and while the install states that it's completed successfully, I'm not able to call mono from the terminal.</p>
  
  <p>To install it, I ran uninstallMono.sh as root to ensure we didn't have any leftover cruft, then ran MonoFramework-MDK-4.0.4.1.macos10.xamarin.x86.pkg. The installer appeared to complete successfully, but an attempt to call mono returns</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>-bash: mono: command not found</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The mono framework does appear to be installed:</p>

  <p>...but it isn't present in <code>/usr/bin</code> and attempting to find its executable using <code>which mono</code> returns nothing.</p>
