+1 to have a link from doc to downloads page. It is also necessary to
limit downloads page to links to various binary distributions and move
the detailed steps from the download page to the site where downloads
point to.
Thank you,
Vlad

Agreed, didn't realize this was in the documentation page.

I disagree. Apex documentation is not the place to promote vendor
offerings.
I suggested to refer to the download page, which already contains the
DataTorrent link.

Hi Dean,
There aren't many good options out there for users to get an
environment
up
with apex apps running easily or quickly. We all know how difficult
it
would be for someone new to get an application up and running even if
they
had a hadoop sandbox with apex. Also, for many when they download a
sandbox
they not only want to be able to run something in a few steps, but
also
have easy to use tools and see something visually. My suggestion is
to
keep
both the sandboxes. You can put the bigtop sandbox first in the list
as
it
is vendor neutral.
Thanks

+1 this should be tracked in a JIRA.
There are also some improvements that can be done to the instructions on
the docker hub (separate activity).
I would also suggest to list the Apex binary build on the downloads page
for users that have an existing cluster:
https://github.com/atrato/apex-cli-package/releases
And perhaps mention in the setup tutorial that these other download
options
are listed on the website.
Thanks,
Thomas

All,
In the Sandbox section of the Apache Apex Development Environment
Setup
documentation (
https://apex.apache.org/docs/apex/apex_development_setup/#sandbox
),
instructions are provided for a vendor-specific Sandbox.
I would like to propose that these instructions be changed to
reference
the
Apache Apex Sandbox instead, which is an Apache Bigtop build and
available
via docker at https://hub.docker.com/r/apacheapex/sandbox.
Regards,
Dean
