Use wget in instructions instead of curl
Curl is no longer installed by default on Ubuntu, and AFAIK neither curl nor wget is installed by default on Debian. It therefore makes sense to make most peoples experience with installing easier, by writing
wget -O- -q https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
in instrucitons instead of
curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
At least for the Ubuntu/Debian instructions.
Indeed, looks like wget
is installed on a lot more Debian systems compared to curl
, at least according to the (opt-in) popularity contest: https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=wget+curl&show_installed=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1
