Www.rust-lang.org: provide option to view all installation methods

[vky]

The Installing Rust section of http://beta.rust-lang.org/learn/get-started has a clear installation method for unix-like OS's, but to find an installer for Windows:

• Click LEARN MORE ABOUT INSTALLATION
• I have to scroll to the bottom of that page
• Open up LEARN MORE under Other Installation methods
• Scroll down to Other ways to install rustup and then I finally find a link to an .exe that may be usable.

With Windows being a major platform, it seems more appropriate (to me) to have an installation method present upfront in the Installing Rust section.

It seems that the user-agent detection might not be working right.

It seems that the user-agent detection might not be working right.

Is that the case? If it is, then my issue may be a non-issue as I was accessing the page from a Mac.

Checking from my Android phone, the flow was the same as previously noted.

we can solve this by making it easy to access the full instructions (something i do on other projects). i am gonna change the title of this to reflect that and then can make a PR :) thanks for filing!

Tested from a Windows machine, and the Windows installation was indeed present.

I think there's value in having both installations present rather than being conditionally present, but I'll leave that for you all to decide.

Agreed. A use case that comes up for me is using my mac to look up how to help a friend using windows to install something. I haven't had to do this for Rust (yet!), but I was doing this only last week for python.

in case it is not clear, i will be fixing this so that you can see all the options by clicking a button :)

We should do thing regardless of detection improvements. One could be using a web browser on a given machine while working on a different (possibly remote) machine that could be on a different platform. (The case that happened to me was adding Windows servers for Servo CI, from my Linux laptop.)

Ran into this as well trying to look up windows instructions for my windows vm from my host mac.
