Thank you for the amazing exercises and entire team for their amazing work!

I'm using exercism through a CLI utility and recently noticed, that for mac users website suggests to use brew package manager, but for Linux users building it from source.

But as far as I know, brew is available for Linux as well. Nothing really stops any Linux user to use it as well.

https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-on-Linux

Should we maybe modify the download packages to propose brew as well?

Whilst homebrew is also available on Windows (via WSL 2), it's not the recommended approach on Windows, nor one that "we" would support. Amending these docs to include the option to use Homebrew on Linux inadvertently also means we now need to provide support for this route should it fail.

My 2 cents.
