&gt; I don&#x27;t understand the fascination with these &quot;make a list&quot; style setup instructions...<p>&gt; ...as they&#x27;re almost immediately outdated, and seldom updated.<p>Your second sentiment is the reason why I appreciate the &quot;make a list&quot;-style tutorials. When something inevitably goes out of date, I can at least see some of the narrative and reasoning for each step, instead of trying to debug someone&#x27;s shell script that they&#x27;ve left to obsolescence.<p>Even better is when I have 3 such tutorial-lists to compare, making it easier to see which steps are integral and which steps were simply author-specific conventions.
