That's only an issue on Windows.
For Posix there's the official install.sh script [1].
[1] https://dlang.org/install.html
I've never seen that page. Would've helped me to see it earlier.
The D download page should include a blurb with a link to that
install page.
I tried going to github.com/dlang/dlang.org, finding the download
page, and adding a blurb+link to install.html above those `curl
... install.sh` commands, but that download.dd page is written in
a format I'm not familiar with. It's difficult to read, and
appears quite clumsy to write as well.
It surprises me that D docs are written in that ddoc macro format
--- especially for standalone docs like the download page. I
think people unfamiliar with D have a perception of D as being
this older language from times past, before C++11, and using ddoc
for docs instead of markdown contributes to this perception. Let
me know if you'd like help in translating D website and doc pages
from ddoc to markdown.
