document that "static" needs to be in PATH as well #105

The main page says to just 2. Download and put haskell.do in your path, so I downloaded, unzipped, and did mv haskell-do ~/bin, but on typing $ haskell-do and opening localhost:3001 I just saw a blank page, no error messages anywhere. So I gave up for a couple releases, tried again now and got the same thing. Then on a whim I did unzip -l and noticed the static dir, and tried moving that into ~/bin as well, and then it worked.

Maybe the instructions should say that you need to unzip it into PATH instead of moving just that file into PATH? (Even better would be if we didn't have to move anything into PATH at all, just unzip and run from cwd, but maybe that's more difficult?)

Thanks for reporting this issue!

Yes, indeed, it should be better documented. What you propose with the paths is another possibility, and could be done, but it is sure that it might be less straightforward than documenting 😄
