Add installation instructions for Linux #6

Closed kntsoriano closed 6 years ago

Background

In order to help Linux users to get started on exercism, a walkthrough to install the CLI must be written for them.

Linux-specific walkthrough

In v1 we have instructions for a manual installation. They're short and sweet and assume that as a Linux user you are probably comfortable on the command-line: http://exercism.io/clients/cli/linux

This can probably be converted to one or two simple steps. We don't need a detailed walkthrough for beginners on Linux at this time—if we need it later, we can likely convert a lot of the detailed stuff from the mac walkthrough.

Don't worry too much about getting the copy/wording right—just getting the decision tree in place will make it much easier for others to take a stab at improving things.

Contributing guide

In order to get you up to speed, we have prepared a Contributing Guide.

We got some feedback about linux installation instructions on the v1 site here: https://github.com/exercism/exercism.io/issues/3764

It would be great if someone has time to go through the current linux flow to check if there are improvements to be made based on that feedback.

I'm going to call this "done". We will likely get improvements and polish as people start using it.
