is woefully out of date and pretty sparse on installation details.

doesn't really work for me.

This worked flawlessly:

I think that it would be helpful, especially since we are seeing new users
appear, to update the downloads and installation pages, and provide some
information about the directory structure (where the binary resides, etc)

A link to the github page
how to install from that .zip file

and perhaps some links to experimental versions such a hgpovray38, W. Pokorny's
branch(es), the newly resurrected pov modeler, etc.

Having a way to install and update POV-Ray with apt-get, yum, or any other
package manager would be great.   Perhaps even some .deb packages.

"...it is expected that many Unix-like systems that have package managers or a
ports system will provide a single-line means of installing a binary or
fetching/building from source"

Just an observation.
