There are countless ways to install any software. So much for my entrée. * I don't know this script. Just what I've read in this thread and what I could extract from it in no more than ten minutes. I understand what it does - or rather I do just approximately. And alright! Why not help the Gentoos and Fedoras and Etc's. Noble. But - wouldn't it be million times easier for all parties to base the support on a Dockerfile? Or a script producing the right Dockerfile possibly, considering matters like Java Script opt- ins and outs. If this is not a cheap pedantry in this context. I don't know. These here bases look quite official: https://hub.docker.com/u/sphinxdoc (Not that I've used them or know them.) The admins of whichever distribution will find their ways in the mesh, raw requirements suffice. The non-admins may have problems with installing software and also running Docker, as that provides su powers in the straight scenario. `pip` comes as an alternative, if I'm not wrong. So maybe this pair is the golden arrow? --thanks T
