update documentation

How can we improve the documentation?

The documentation on the site needs to be updated. According to the documentation for version 18.0, it is impossible to install asdf. It needs to be made clearer, or the steps need to be clarified. One option is to record a video with the installation steps on Linux.

How I managed to install it finally on Ubuntu (WSL2 setup):

  1. Install go via snap (needs to be >1.23)
  2. go install github.com/asdf-vm/asdf/cmd/[email protected]
  3. mkdir ~/.asdf
  4. cp /home/user/go/bin/asdf ~/.asdf
  5. Add to ~/.bashrc
export ASDF_DATA_DIR="$HOME/.asdf"
export PATH="$ASDF_DATA_DIR:$PATH"

go version go1.25.4 linux/amd64
asdf version 0.18.0 (revision unknown)

Great. It should work! On the website https://asdf-vm.com/guide/getting-started.html there are no steps 3 and 4. Please add this description to the website. Thank you.
