I respectfully disagree with some of the comments about copy editors.
One doesn't need to be a mathematician or an entry level programmer
to recognize that the installation guide is;
a) one of the first documents that many SAGE users use.
b) in need of some edits, particularly with respect to the sequence of
operations.
A good, even fair, copy editor would recognize this and could produce
a much more usable guide with little more than copy/paste.
Even I am able to point to passages that need to be moved before other
passages, e.g. setting environment variables PROBABLY needs to be
moved
earlier.
