Please add similar instructions for windows and os x users.

for macOS and windows we do not build from source, this will not be there. There is only the issue of ensuring that the pre-built binary in the S3 works fine with both R 3.4 and 3.5.
And that is not part of this PR.

Follow these directions to setup a test server and build the docs. Test the selector to make sure content shows up when you click on the different install options. |

@aaronmarkham It does show here correctly - http:https://mxnet-ci-doc.s3-accelerate.dualstack.amazonaws.com/PR-11590/3/index.html |

So it looks like we have duplicated information on the install.md page and each of the $OS_setup.md pages. Also, when you use the install page's selector, you get instructions, but no link to the $OS_setup page. Wouldn't it be better to provide the minimum info needed on the install page, and leave the detail for the OS specific pages? |

I went ahead and resolved an issue with using the CI scripts as part of the installation instructions (@marcoabreu) for Ubuntu and made a new script for core and python deps. The "pre-pip" dependency install still uses the CI script though, since it doesn't do any source steps. (I suppose I can make another one for this or modify the install_mxnet_ubuntu_python.sh to have pip and source options.) I also made an R installation script (ported and updated the dmlc one to work with our install flow). The instructions are generally simplified now by having access to the two new shell scripts:
install_mxnet_ubuntu_python.sh
install_mxnet_ubuntu_r.sh

@hetong007 I updated the install page for OSX and Windows to point to the detailed instructions pages. OSX should be good to go now. Windows is being worked on in a separate PR by @ankkhedia. Please revisit your change request since further updates on Windows instructions is out of scope for this PR. |

This is probably unintended, but the change to this file causes CI to occasionally fail. The keyserver for this gpg key fails approx 1/10 requests. Is there a good reason we reverted @larroy change which manually installs the key? It seemed like a reasonable fix for the flaky gpg server issue. Any objection to me restoring the manual key add?
