Andrea Longo d225451bc3 Reminder to install mc, not Midnight Commander (#1121)
Add admonition to the Linux `mc` install steps about installing the
correct binary from `dl.min.io`. If you use your native package manager,
you are very likely to get GNU Midnight Commander instead.

Install from the MinIO Download Page

MinIO does not officially publish its binaries to common Linux repositories or package managers (Ubuntu, RHEL, Archlinux/AUR). The only official source of MinIO binaries is the MinIO Download Page.

MinIO does not recommend installation through a package manager, as upstream repositories may install the incorrect package or a renamed package.

All documentation assumes the installation of the official mc client binary through the download page only, with no changes to binary naming.

macOS

brew install minio/stable/mc
mc --help

Windows

Open the following file in a browser:

https://dl.min.io/client/mc/release/windows-amd64/mc.exe

Execute the file by double clicking on it, or by running the following in the command prompt or powershell:

\path\to\mc.exe --help

Source

Installation from source is intended for developers and advanced users and requires a working Golang environment. See How to install Golang.

Run the following commands in a terminal environment to install mc from source:

go install github.com/minio/mc@latest

mc update does not support source-based installations.
