Based on the kind of feedback we've been getting on the Easy Install system, here's what we're learning: * People really do read the "how to install the dependencies for your OS" section * But they're not smart enough to figure out how to fix it if it's slightly wrong I've removed the bits of Easy Install that make it send the compiler output to a log file instead of the screen. Everything goes to the screen now. Messages and prompts that are generated by Easy Install now show up in color. Yes, I'm making the assumption that everyone's got an ANSI-like terminal at this point. The compiler output will output in the default screen color.
Next, I'm going to try to put a few lines of shell script in that will detect the host OS and offer to run the "apt install" or "yum install" command to install the dependencies, instead of relying on the user to put them in first. This is probably a big can of worms to open and I'm going to regret it.
