Slightly unclear Python installation instruction (Linux) #290
Comments
Is this still an issue? |
The Linux installation instructions for Linux have not changed since my report, so yes (assuming others agree that the points I raised are actually an issue, of course). |
Thanks - I'll try to push an update next week. |
@mstimberg What would be the best way to write the instructions? |
@mstimberg and @marwahaha Do you still have interest to work on this? |
Sorry for having being quiet so long, I'll try to re-write the instructions and open a PR. |
The installation instructions for Python (i.e. Anaconda) are a bit unclear for Linux, I think. The instructions currently are (paraphrased):
bash Anaconda-
+ TABI find it a bit confusing that "step 3" is actually not about doing anything (if you'd follow the instruction literally, you'd be done after step 3 with an installed Anaconda distribution), but what should be done is explained in the three following steps. Could we maybe number the steps 4-6 as 3a-3c (although this seems to be annoyingly complicated in HTML: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12325284/are-letter-number-combinations-in-html-lists-possible)? Alternatively, wrapping the steps 4-6 in
<ul>...</ul>
might be an easy solution, although it will make the column even smaller.Another small thing: the current step number 5 assumes that after opening the terminal window, we are in the directory with the downloaded file. I guess on most Linux installations the download would by default rather end up in the
