Dashamir,
Yes! Absolutely it should b easier to install. One improvement that
we've talked about is merging OpenSRF into the Evergreen project. I
think that would go a long way. And removing some of the decisions for
first-time installers. Such as whether or not to use NGINX. Perhaps the
installer should just do it (because pretty much everyone has decided
that NGINX reigns supreme for the brunt of the internet traffic)
But now this topic has evolved. Perhaps would be better suited in a
different thread. Or perhaps a Launchpad thread. I went ahead and filed
a Launchpad bug <https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2086803>. I
also went ahead and added it as a discussion topic
<https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=hack-a-way:hack-a-way-2024#discussion_topics>
for next week at the hack-away.

You may be right. I am familiar with Bash scripting and not familiar
with make and Makefile, so probably I am biased.
However, I'd prefer to be able to install an application without
having to go down and look at the details (at the source code, etc.),
simply because I don't have enough time to do this for all the
applications that I install.
I can only notice that with all the great job that Makefile.install
files are doing, the installation page is still very long, with lots
of instructions, and the installation is still difficult (more
difficult than most applications that I have tried, in my opinion).
So, maybe we can agree that there is still some work that needs to be
done, one way or another, to improve the installation, to make it
easier and more reliable. Most of the people here have already
installed it (I guess), so improving the installation is not their
priority or concern, but it might be important for newcomers like me.
