Description

GitHub ZIP URLs return HTTP redirects, and curl does not follow redirects by default.
This caused the downloaded ZIP file to be empty, leading to unzip failures.

This PR:

  • Adds the -L flag to curl and curl.exe commands
  • Updates both README.md and docs/setup.md
  • Cleans up formatting for better readability

Fixes #352.

Testing

  • Manually verified the updated commands
  • Confirmed that curl -L correctly downloads the ZIP file

Documentation

  • Updated README.md
  • Updated docs/setup.md
