We need yet another iteration. I think we should rename it (Install instead of Download) and make a link to the Install section in docs. @efiop @jorgeorpinel @casperdcl thoughts?

Otherwise we are forcing people installing "binary" py-installer version. Moreover it does not take into account the new need to describe dvc as a library installation method, etc. It's just not scalable anymore.

I agree. Downloading the installer is only the recommended method for Windows and even then "Install" is a better legend for the button. It already has a ink to /doc/install though, in the smaller, top option "pip, conda, brew". So is the change just "Download" -> "Install"?

new need to describe dvc as a library

Good point I'll add some notes in the install section along with #908.

yes, pretty much. Also, remove that dropdown completely and simplify code around.

OK. We could just keep the platform detection so it links to the exact install page 🙂

More people are complaining iterative/dvc#5192 . Could we prioritize this maybe? We'll consider dropping binary packages for 2.0 in general soon iterative/dvc#4841 , so this might become even more relevant.

Yes, I think so. I would also do an install page like this https://spacy.io/usage first so that we can redirect people there.
