Installation of Docker-Machine on windows using chmod ?

@AesonDev I can't seem to tell what is the problem, or if you find something confusing.
As far as I can tell that article tells you how to download the docker-machine binary, and if you're on a Linux system, you first need to make the file executable by using the chmod command, otherwise you won't be able to run it.

chmod does no exist on windows. But the documentation said to run chmod and a linux command on windows.

Adapting the doc could maybe making it less confusing 😊

Now I get it... Duhhhhh 🙈

@AesonDev , sorry for the confusion .. the Docker Machine install will work as documented (with the Linux chmod commands) if you use Git Bash, as mentioned in the instructions. I just installed Git Bash on my Windows laptop and the Machine install worked as described (see below). I'll update those docs to make this caveat clearer, and link the pull request to this issue.

Note that instruction is followed by this as an alternative: "Otherwise, download one of the releases from the docker/machine release page directly." .. but Git Bash is pretty cool!

I love you
