One-step Script path error

Operating system: Debian - 9 (stretch)

The path that binary file located is /usr/local/bin instead of /user/local/bin

Remove docs from website

Was thinking about moving the docs for some place we can change them more easily:

1. GitHub Wiki
2. Gitbook (like https://filebrowser.gitbook.io/docs)
3. Just put on the README

We don't actually have many docs. It's just the docker info, the custom branding and quick guide explaining how to use this.

I'm leaning towards the third option because it's really not that many docs.

We'd keep the website of course as a good entry point.

@1138-4eb @Equim-chan what do you think?

In fact, even if you do not use the API, there are links to the url of the latest release.

PowerShell installer doesn't work on Posh 5.1

The PowerShell installer uses the cmdlet New-TemporaryFile, which was introduced in PowerShell Core (v6). Because of that, the $temp var doesn't get populated and the download does not happen.

You need to do at least one of the following to fix:

1. Put a note in the documentation that says to use Pwsh (PowerShell core 6+)
2. Put a #Requires -Version 6 in the get.ps1 file
3. Put in custom $PSVersionTable validation and error message that lets people know why it won't run on PowerShell 5 and below
4. Remove cmdlets such as New-TemporaryFile that are only available in PowerShell core

Personally, I'd suggest telling people to only use it on Pwsh 7+ since 6 is already deprecated. I'd suggest doing #1 and #2 (but for 7 instead of 6). Option 4 is also nice if you actually intend for this to be installable without Pwsh on the machine. New-temporaryFile is likely the only thing that would need changed. Option 3 would only be the case if you're worried that this error message is too generic and hard to under stand: The script '...' cannot be run because it contained a "#requires" statement for PowerShell 7.0. The version of PowerShell that is required by the script does not match the currently running version of PowerShell 5.1.

If you tell me what direction you'd like to go, I'll happily submit a PR.
