Improve installation guide
Closed this issue ยท 1 comments
Hi ๐
I was here to write about adding a link and description for the releases page in the docs, I checked out the docs again and there was already a link to that page.
When I opened the installation page for the first time, I immediately searched for "Windows" without reading the starting section. So, I didn't know that there were easier ways to install it. I cloned, I didn't have Visual Studio installed, so I was going to download Visual Studio, but then I googled to see if there was an easier way to install it and that's when I saw a video that downloaded Odin from the releases page. I feel like this was my fault, however, I think the documentation can be improved to prevent such stories from happening again.
I'm not sure what could be the best solution, maybe adding a sentence to each build section, saying something like "You can download the build directly, or you can build it yourself by doing...".

What is unclear about these instructions?
You have admitted to NOT reading any of the documentation and then complained it wasn't good enough?
