All right, I will update the document for pyinstaller.

Thanks,

I agree. It makes sense to me that we update provisioning guide to document 
primarily pyinstaller, along with a small note that the legacy command-line 
installer is deprecated, but available. We can direct users to 2.0 release for 
documentation on that installer, so that we don't have to clutter the document 
with duplicate info.

I can add info on how to install the Ambari plug-in, perhaps with a pointer to 
Ambari docs on how to use it. 

Pyinstaller is the main one, since it supports multiple distros.

Eason, if I take the first shot at the high-level stuff and Ambari info, can 
you update the command-line installer parts?
