Workshop - Exercise 2 download istio error

[artberger]

Download error

I was trying this step:

1. Either download Istio directly from https://github.com/istio/istio/releases or get the latest version by using curl:

   curl -L https://git.io/getLatestIstio | sh -

And got this error:

art:~ art$ curl -L https://git.io/getLatestIstio | sh -

Add /Users/art to your path; e.g copy paste in your shell and/or ~/.profile:
export PATH="$PATH:/Users/art"

Clearer about directory

I think that we also need to be clearer about where the istioctl lives. For example, if users just download it and leave it in their downloads, that might not be desirable. Also, the curl command if it works will just put it in whatever dir they're currently in (which also might not be desirable). Perhaps have a tip to guide users about this.

@artberger which platform are you using when run the curl cmd? This cmd works fine on my mac.

[artberger]

My platform was also Mac, version 10.13.3 (17D102).
