I downloaded the script and made it executable. I also have
dub on `/usr/bin/dub` . The example just stalls with no

homepage examples, they should be running in verbose mode as
this is probably the first touchpoint for a new D user)
Now, i have this error:

Should dub take care of those for installation? Or, maybe the
example is best run with a docker image of dmd/ldc compiler.
You need the libssl-dev package installed first, it contains
the libraries that ld is complaining it can't find. As far as
I know that's not within dub's scope to worry about.
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
Then don't you think these thing should be mentioned with the
examples? It looks very bad(and is, since it wastes peoples
time) to give an example that has dependencies and they are not
mentioned, nor is the method to make it all work).
You can add that mention. Post the PR link here.
Those linker errors are easy to Google. OpenSSL is a basic
building block for major OSes, not like it requires some obscure
stupid dependency.
Dlang is not Basic nor PHP, don't wanna sound like a precious
little prick, but some things just need to be said!
