| To install Exorcism on Linux you need to get the `exorcism` |

s/Exorcism/Exercism/ :)
also s/exorcism/exercism/
(twice on the same line, I think you win!)

| tar -xf exercism-linux-64bit.tgz |

I don't think tar takes a - before the options -- did you run this and copy/paste it?

It’s… complicated, as tar supports old, short and long options. :)
All of those will work (and do the same thing):
tar xf exercism-linux-64bit.tgz
tar -xf exercism-linux-64bit.tgz
tar -x -f exercism-linux-64bit.tgz
tar --extract --file exercism-linux-64bit.tgz
I’m not a huge fan of the old (tar xf) options style as it’s not symmetric with any other tool, but I totally don’t mind it either, and any of the above would work for me, so just state your preference, please. :)
(I prefer the long style in scripts, as it makes them more readable, but in case of tutorials some people dutifully type the commands rather than copy-pasting them, and the longer the options the higher the chance for a typo…)

If the -xf works, then I prefer that. I had just never seen it before.

Thank you! |
This includes the first cut of Linux installation instructions (#6).
I have no clue how to explain to Twee that the
[[inlinux/path.tw2is a Bash command and not a Twee link. 😢Cheers from ROSS conf! 🎉
