Clearer + more visible installation instructions? #234

Closed karlhorky closed 10 months ago

karlhorky commented 10 months ago

Hi there, thanks for this project! Looks amazing.

I would like to recommend it to our students, but the installation + configuration guide is a bit spread out in the readme.

Would you be open to:

  1. Consolidating the installation + configuration parts (only 1 single guide to follow, not multiple)
  2. Making it more visible in the readme (eg. moving it up to directly below a brief introduction of what the tool is and what it can do

Would be great and I would imagine would help with more users installing this great tool.

Maybe as author of pspg I living in own bubble, because installation is just sudo dnf install pspg and necessary configuration is export PSQL_PAGER=pspg. But sure, I invite any PR to readme to be better for beginners or students (I am not sure, if I able to do - I have minimal language skills in English language, and I am little bit isolated from students or beginners now, so I maybe I don't understand what they prefer.

@okbob nice! What about also including brew install pspg (macOS) in the shorter installation instructions section?
