Issue ID: 19815
Summary: Documentation for install.sh is hard to find and
unnecessarily complex
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: installer
Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
Reporter: bugzilla at digitalmars.com
The link to https://dlang.org/install.html is way beyond the fold of
https://dlang.org/download.html, and looks like this:
Install Script (i)
curl -fsS https://dlang.org/install.sh | bash -s dmd-nightly
Need to give some exposition here, such as this text:
"The dlang.org/install.sh script is the official D version manager for DMD, GDC
and LDC on FreeBSD, Linux and macOS. It provides a convenient way to fetch and
install a D compiler without requiring administrative privileges nor external
dependencies. (i)"
Leave off the bash command. The installer documentation makes no mention of
-fsS, either. It shouldn't be there if the documentation doesn't cover it.
