docs: add Linux package-manager uv install options (#464)#502
Merged
Conversation
Surface that uv ships in distro repos (pacman/apt/dnf) and Homebrew, so users aren't required to pipe the astral.sh install script from the web. Addresses #464. https://claude.ai/code/session_01Jq5X4ivngAf1N6r5UX2BVw

Pull request overview
This PR updates the Quick Start prerequisites documentation to provide safer, package-manager-based installation alternatives for uv, addressing #464’s concern about “curl | sh” style installs.
Changes:
- Adds distro/package-manager install commands for
uv(pacman/apt/dnf/brew) alongside the existing script-based options. - Keeps the existing upstream
uvinstallation link for additional installation methods.

Summary
Closes #464.
The Prerequisites section only offered the
curl … | sh/ PowerShellirm | iexinstall scripts foruv. As the reporter noted, being told to pipe a script from a site that renders blank in a browser feels sketchy — and it's the kind of "just run this" step many users either skip or run uneasily.uvis a popular open-source tool packaged in most distro repos, so this adds package-manager alternatives so users can install it from a source they already trust (and get automatic updates via their package manager):sudo pacman -S uvsudo apt install uv(older releases:pipx install uvor the script)sudo dnf install uvbrew install uvThe existing script commands and the upstream install-docs link are kept unchanged.
