We ask people if they are comfortable installing things on the command-line. When they say yes, we tell them to download an archive, unpack it, and stick it in their path.

In so many words. Basically.

It turns out, a lot of people who say "yes" to being comfortable don't know what the PATH is. So they're not scared of the terminal, which is great, but they are also now at a dead end, which is not great.

This points them back into the detailed part of the process if they don't know what a PATH is. I am pointing to the "create a bin folder" rather than "add bin to your path", since that is most likely where they fell off.
