The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/tutorial-install.html
Description:

On the “Installation” page of the PostgreSQL 16 tutorial
([https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/tutorial-install.html](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/tutorial-install.html))
I expected the recommended instructions to point to Chapter 16 (installing
from binaries) rather than Chapter 17 (installing from source). After all,
Chapter 16 even notes that “building from source (see Chapter 17) is only
recommended for people developing PostgreSQL or extensions.”
