Description
Currently our recommended quick installation is a three-step process: install Node, install tns, and then run our setup scripts. Even though those steps are relatively minimal, a surprising number of people get tripped up going through them. See https://github.com/NativeScript/docs/pull/585 for an example.
I want to propose that we change the installation scripts to install everything—Node, tns, and the various system requirements. The scripts could detect whether Node is installed, as to avoid undoing a user’s installation unknowingly.
A single script would simplify the documentation considerably, but it would probably be a non-trivial engineering effort. And with installers in the works perhaps this isn’t worth the effort. But I wanted to open this up to see what people think.
Thoughts?
