 with X11, install the `graphviz <http://www.graphviz.org>`_ toolkit, and make
-sure 'dot' and 'gv' are in your path.  If you are running on Mac OS X, download
-and install the Mac OS X `Graphviz program
-<http://www.pixelglow.com/graphviz/>`_ and add
-``/Applications/Graphviz.app/Contents/MacOS/`` (or wherever you install it) to
-your path. The programs need not be present when configuring, building or
-running LLVM and can simply be installed when needed during an active debug
-session.
+sure 'dot' and 'gv' are in your path.  If you are running on macOS, install the
+'graphviz-gui' through `MacPorts <https://www.macports.org>`_. The programs need

Well, that's usually what people will try first (including me). After trail and error, I found MacPorts would be the easier and feasible one. We can rephrase somehow to say MacPorts is one solution, and there are many others can try if MacPorts fail.
