Unfortunately, missing docs means we couldn't build the packages, just the tar archives. Should get fixed with the next beta.
You can use the install.sh script for now.
  curl -fsS https://dlang.org/install.sh | bash -s dmd-beta

No problem to install using DVM [1]. It's cross-platform.

Indeed we should have a single-line Powershell install.ps1 as well, will you be the one to write it?

I'll try to cherry-pick over those as well, doesn't make sense to only release one part. Please try to use the milestones to mark PRs that are supposed to go together.
