There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think it's a good idea to provide a link to the refreshed installation instructions, thank you!
I'm inclined to want to keep some form of link to the available release downloads, though, just because otherwise they are a little obscure (off on the side of the main project page), so I suggest changing the "Downloads" link to a "Releases" one.
If that's acceptable with you, then I'm good with this PR, and thanks again!

As noted in this pull request, it is currently hard to find installation instructions on the website for an operating system that is not the one that the website is opened on.
I would argue that most users look for "installation" instead of "download" instructions, therefore I think that renaming the header link to "installation" would be it easier discoverable for users.
More over I think that linking to the README installation instructions is more helpful than linking directly to the downloadable release binaries. (The README installation instructions include links to the binaries.)
❗ Note that this pull request assumes that the README pull request is being accepted and merged since it links to the
#installingsection in the README.The current version only includes instructions to install from binaries or source whereas the new proposed version includes all options.
