Incorrect URL for Solana CLI installation in documentation #653

Closed intls closed 1 day ago

intls commented 1 day ago

Problem

The documentation currently references a non-official domain (anza.xyz) for installing the Solana CLI. This issue is present in the following files: • docs/intro/dev.md • docs/intro/installation.md • content/courses/onchain-development/local-setup.md • content/guides/getstarted/solana-test-validator.md

Potential Risks:

  1. Security Concerns: Using a non-official domain (anza.xyz) introduces potential risks such as downloading compromised or malicious binaries. Developers rely on the authenticity of official sources to avoid such vulnerabilities.
  2. Developer Confusion: Including a non-official installation URL in documentation might mislead developers, causing uncertainty about the legitimacy of the tools they are installing.
  3. Inconsistency with Official Guidelines: The official Solana CLI installation process, as documented on the Solana website, directs users to the domain release.solana.com. The use of a different domain contradicts these guidelines and may erode trust in the documentation.
