The guide does not specify required actions to install spiff.
It provides a link to the spiff readme (here) which does not provide clear instructions either.

I'm missing which spiff architecture bosh-lite expects, between those available as spiff releases (darwin or linux)

I'm also missing how to install downloaded binary. Although this would better fit in spiff install instructions.
chmod +x is probably a must here, but I don't know where to place it so next instructions find it.

Hi @isartcanyameres.

Spiff is a command line tool for generating manifests. You should download the Spiff release that will run on your local machine. If you're on a Mac, download the Darwin release. If you're on Linux, download the Linux release.

The downloaded file will either be a binary or a zipped binary. If it's zipped, unzip it. Then place the binary in your path. It might require a chmod, although I just tried and it didn't require it. (I'm on a Mac, so I downloaded the Darwin release.)

Hope this helps. I'm closing the issue, but please don't hesitate to get in touch with any further questions.

Thank you so much for your answer.
It's been fast, well defined and written in a manner that I'm glad to read. I appreciate it.
Thank you again! :)

I have yet to test it, but I'm pretty sure it will work :P
