Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.
The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.
This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.
Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.
The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.
Issue description
When installing Processing to Ubuntu 16.04 I noticed that it's not very straighforward to find information
on how to install processing. I had to go google "how to install processing" and then it linked me to the
"Getting Started" tutorial by Casey Reas and Ben Fry.
Tutorial by Casey Reas and Ben Fry does not mention the existance of the installation.sh script, which is imo super convenient for (perhaps Linux-) beginners. And it may be better practice to install / extract processing into a different location than home folder.
TL;DR: No intuitive way to find (step-by-step) installation guide. Outdated installation information in the "Getting Started" tutorial (at least for linux).

Proposed fix
It may be a good idea to put installation steps (first chapter of Casey's and Ben's tutorial) directly to the Downloads page - so the user can't miss it. Or, looking at Arduino page: linking to the getting started tutorial and mentioning that there are also installation instructions.
Also the linux part should be updated: mention the use of "install.sh" and maybe it would be nice to place processing into /opt/ or /usr/local/ rather than the home folder? Here is a "short" answer about installation locations in linux.
