show latest image number when fetching an image about clear-linux-documentation HOT 4 CLOSED

Perhaps the title needs to change, but we should include full command lines when downloading stuff, like OVMF.fd or the start_qemu.sh. Leaving the title as it is for the moment.

@lsandoval - The "image" directory in https://download.clearlinux.org/image always has the latest. there aren't multiple versions.

That said, we can add a command-line code-block to each one of the document where we ask the user to download the latest. It will download the latest. @Michael-Vincerra - Here are the changes to make:

1. On https://clearlinux.org/documentation/clear-linux/get-started/bare-metal-install

“Download the latest Clear Linux installer image
Get the latest Clear Linux installer image from the image directory. Look for the clear-[version number]-installer.img.xz file. Once you have downloaded the image, verify and uncompress the file.”
 
Add a code-block:: bash
$ curl -O  https://download.clearlinux.org/image/clear-$(curl https://download.clearlinux.org/latest)-installer.img.xz
 
2. On https://clearlinux.org/documentation/clear-linux/get-started/virtual-machine-install/kvm
“Download and launch the virtual machine
1.   Download the latest pre-built Clear Linux KVM image file from the image directory. Look for clear--kvm.img.xz.”
 
Add a code-block:: bash
$ curl -O  https://download.clearlinux.org/image/clear-$(curl https://download.clearlinux.org/latest)-kvm.img.xz
 
3. On https://clearlinux.org/documentation/clear-linux/get-started/virtual-machine-install/virtualbox
“Create a virtual machine in VirtualBox

Add a code-block:: bash
$ curl -O  https://download.clearlinux.org/image/clear-$(curl https://download.clearlinux.org/latest)-live.img.xz
 
4. On https://clearlinux.org/documentation/clear-linux/get-started/virtual-machine-install/vmware-esxi-preconfigured-cl-image and https://clearlinux.org/documentation/clear-linux/get-started/virtual-machine-install/vmw-player-preconf
“Download the latest Clear Linux VMware image
Get the latest Clear Linux VMware image from the image repository. Look for clear-[version number]-vmware.vmdk.xz.
