PhoenixFramework.org UX Improvement for Installation
It would be useful to add a link directly to installation on the PhoenixFramework.org homepage (I believe there was one in an older iteration); in order to get to the Installation page, a user landing on the homepage has to click through at least two links (Homepage → Get Started → Installation link within paragraph text, Homepage → Guides → Installation on sidebar, Homepage → Docs → click Guides on sidebar → Installation), and Installation isn’t so prominent in these cases
For Phoenix newbies who are going to the site looking specifically for env setup (such as some of my students), putting a link to Installation back on the homepage would shorten their time searching the site
I give this feedback with the utmost gratitude for the robustness and amazing clarity of Phoenix docs as they are

Once Phoenix 1.4 is out, we will likely include the mix archive.install hex phx_new 1.4.0 instruction on the home page somewhere. I think linking to installation near next to that is a good idea.
