-------------------------+---------------------
 The linux documentation calls for using the same instructions as OSX.  The
 OSX instructions then use an OSX package name to verify instead of the
 linux package name.  Someone following these instructions on linux will
 run into an error.  It should be noted in the instructions that the linux
 package name should be substituted for the OSX package name.

 Also, the OSX instructions call for a verification that doesn't work on
 linux (and that contradicts the video instructions): namely, the linux
 verify command calls for the signature .asc file to be used in conjunction
 with the .tar package, in that order.  The OSX instructions do not require
 this.  The terminal kicks out an "error: file open" error when doing this
 without the proper command.

 Perhaps just adding a couple of simple lines to the linux instructions
 would be the best solution.
