Subject: Add instructions for implied download/unpack step
X-Git-Url: https://old-git.evergreen-ils.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=refs%2Fheads%2Fuser%2Frsteed%2Finstall_instructions_small_improvements;p=working%2FOpenSRF.git

Add instructions for implied download/unpack step

Occasionally, new users have complained that the installation
instructions making too many assumptions about what a user knows. This
commit explicitly instructs users in downloading the source tarball,
unpacking it, and changing the working directory so they will be ready
for the next instructions.
