Perhaps in addition to the Quick Start guide, I could re-work the section of the new LFE guide called Setting up a Development Environment. Namely:
- Update the existing content (it's out of date in lots of areas)
- Pull it out of the user guide and highlight it more prominently on docs.lfe.io
- Update is with new sections that show some basic usage of lfetool (per your suggestions) with links for more details to the lfetool Command Manual
Really sorry to hear it took you 2 days to get up and running with LFE -- that's a complete failure on our part. If you can think of anything else that would have made it easier/quicker for you, please leave more comments here!
Regardless, thanks for taking the time to let us know.
I'm an LFE and Erlang noob. It took me two days to figure out how to install LFE. https://github.com/lfe/lfetool/blob/stable/doc/manual/install.rst describes kerl near th bottom of the page. Instead describing lfetool commands in alphabetical order I suggest desribing them in dependency order, or provide some sort of dependency list to follow.
Also it would be nice to have some up to date noob quick install path somewhere in a prominent place of your documentation. For example lfetool, kerl, erlang and all the rest. Lfetool Command manual is a step in the right direction.
